Installation from scratch

There should be a lot less trouble doing a fresh installation. Just follow the usual steps outlined in the articles on previous Ubuntu versions:

  • Insert your Ubuntu installation disc and reboot the computer. Boot from the disc, Ubuntu will launch in it’s live form for you to get a feel for the OS or install. You will be presented with two options, install Ubuntu or run a Live instance. Click the "Install Ubuntu" Option when it is presented to you at the Welcome screen.
  • Proceed with a normal install of Ubuntu. It is recommended to make the choice to Download the latest updates while installing by ticking the checkbox. Ubuntu will now examine hardware and alert you of any previously existing operating systems. Recommended that you remove all information unless you have other OS's you want to keep on the system.
  • Partitioning the disk seems to be a bit tricky: You have to delete the volume group it makes, select the actual device, and it lets you choose to blow away the partitions table and make a new one
  • During the install Ubuntu will ask you to set your timezone, layout, and some user information such as a user name and password. Set this information to your liking. In the latest flavors of Ubuntu the Root user account is disabled, after installation this guide will show you how to enable it. Ubuntu will copy files and begin the installation.
  • After installation is complete, reboot. Remove the installation disc and press enter, your computer will reboot and boot up in it’s new operating system that is much faster and more durable than it’s squishy, virus prone, partners. Log in with the Password and the User you specified during installation.

Your system should now be installed and ready to go.

Update / Dist-Upgrade

This part is definitely harder than a new installation.
