Picked up a P4/1gig box for a business box... Figuring on Open Office for word processing and some spreadsheet stuff. Have Windoze XP on it already.
Ubuntu ran fine off the disk. So I did an install. I'm guessing it didn't like the video setup (it was set for a high resolution 16x9 screen), because now when I boot into Ubuntu off the HD partition, I get a big blank screen, with no activity, etc... (and I've run Windoze blind in the past when I screwed something up, so...).
I'm guessing (er... hoping...) that the thing has some sort of autoexec-type of text file somewhere I can just edit? HELP? Or how do I do an install without partitioning things, again?.
FWIW, the box came with a 40 gig drive for under $100, with the XP Pro... So add in a $20 monitor, a $10 mouse (new) and a $15 keyboard (also new), and things ain't bad... I partitioned it with 15 for Ubuntu and 25 for XP Pro...
