Thread: You can't install anything more than 10.04 on a Dell Dimension 4100


last week tried install version 11 on old dell dimension desktop. nightmare. bottom line reinstalled windows , installed ubuntu 10.04. reason version 11 kept crapping out. taken either grub rescue prompt or initsramfs prompt. imho ubuntu 11.10 overwhelmed old machine.

however, 10.04 install works fine. work had reinstall windows mbr restored. once did ubuntu easy install.

learned hard way. has else had similar experience. installing linux great way put old machines use.
