I downloaded the Xubuntu ISO for PPC today, and got this error. After a small

the PPC release of Xubuntu.

Bear in mind Xubuntu is a Ubuntu with the XFCE desktop. Ubuntu is Ubuntu with
Gnome desktop. Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE desktop. Basic Ubuntu is all the
same.
O.K., go to http://www.xubuntu.org/. Click on Help and Support. Partway down

Thanks Simon.
The first thing in my mind after facing the problem is to go to the
Xubuntu homepage and trail to the download section. Just to look for any
hint about installation problem. Of course there aren't any. I am
basically left clueless.

I agree with Stanley that the solution needs to be mentioned at a

I suspect that the crucial point got lost in this long discussion: While
updates may work, any fresh installation of Xubuntu from the current CD

Please can the general installation help discussions go to a forum or
the ubuntu-installer mailing list? This bug isn't appropriate for them.
If this fix looks good in Gutsy, I do expect to backport it to Feisty,
although I'm not sure if/when a point release of the CD images will
happen.

I have a dell dimension xps t450 and have had the problem of error

Jerry - At least for the time being, I will keep the setup as is. I

the only backups would be Ubuntu. As I understand it, the OS files need
