No way to select install from the start menu :-(No way to select install from the start menu :-(Posted Oct 20, 2006 12:15 UTC (Fri) by jarto (subscriber, #3268)Parent article: Announcing the Release Candidate for Ubuntu 6.10
I reported this also in the Ubuntu forums:
I'm trying to install the release candidate of Edgy Eft on my 1 GHz/128MB test computer. Despite its low specs, it runs the previous version of Ubuntu pretty decently. I noticed that there's no possibility any more to choose installing without booting to the live cd. The problem is:
It's now 18 minutes since I started booting this computer with the live cd.
Can you please bring back a fast way of installing Ubuntu.

No way to select install from the start menu :-( Posted Oct 20, 2006 13:31 UTC (Fri) by callegar (guest, #16148) [Link] Sorry, the bug I was mentioning is actually not that one.
What I am referring to is a problem where parameters of the real time clock in some part of the chipset get corrupted to the point that it becomes impossible to boot _any_ operating system, so that the computer becomes completely useless (no way to activate _any_ operating system, it gives a bios error at start up.).
At this point, if you are lucky and the CMOS battery is accessible, you unplug that, you plug it again, the CMOS data is reset and your computer is alive again.
A slightly less lucky option is that you can send your computer to service and after 1 week you get it back alive again... (possibly paying for the service).
So, apparently it is a very critical thing, although I don't know the "statistical impact" of it.

That's why Ewan was not responding to your post, but rather to Jarto's post.
