My Little Ubuntu Guide

INSTRUCTIONS: The following scripts are setup in such a way that they can be run independantly from each other, however, certain scripts must be run before others…take note of the dependancies on each.

INITIAL INSTALL & PREP

1. Download the Ubuntu Desktop Live CD from Here: Download ISO Here. Burn the ISO to CD and boot.

2. After booting into the CD X won’t start. Hit Enter to say OK to the error messages and get back to the black screen. You may need to switch to ALT-F4 to get an “ubuntu” user. Do the following, one at a time, to get X working:
Code:

wget http://www.mylittleubuntuguide.com/files/ati
chmod +x ati
./ati

You’ll see X start and you are now running the Live CD in your native resolution!

3. Double click the Install icon and configure your install how you like it.

4. After your system finishes installing it will prompt you before rebooting, ensure you have a network cable connected, and when it boots into the new system you’ll see an error about X. Use your arrows to select NO, hit ENTER and then OK to get to the black login screen. You’ll see an error regarding BCM43xx appearing, ignore it and type as if it wasn’t there. The command line can’t “read” that error so don’t try to backspace over it, etc. Login using your username and password.
