i'm having trouble installing ubuntu. I have the boot disc, but whenever I try to run Ubuntu from the disc my computer won't load anything but a blank salmon-colored screen and a cursor. Is the computer frozen, or is there something I should be doing when that screen comes up??

Sorry if this is a retarded question.

Try the alternate install disc - it installs Ubuntu in a text-mode installer that should work on more systems. What kind of computer are you using?

Thanks. Computer is a Dimension 2400, and to be honest I don't know the specs, as I just rescued it from the dumpster at work for the purpose of putting Linux on and playing around. I'm assuming 128 mb ram, and the hard drive is like 30 gigs.
