gauntlet420's Journal: Ubuntu lament

The spare parts box that once hosted MythTV is long gone.

I was hoping to spend some time with MythTV and Ubuntu 6.06, but for some incredibly annoying reason the kernel hangs every time I boot my primary PC from those "Dapper" live cds (both x86 and x64; my box is an Athlon 64). I was hoping to replace Vista RC1 with Ubuntu, but if they can't be bothered to put a text-mode installer on those disks, why should I waste time downloading a whole new installation? Why can't they ship me a text-mode CD like those other purty coasters^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hlive cds? Ubuntu seems like a decent enough distribution ... seems, since I CAN'T ACTUALLY TRY IT!
