hello please delete this bug report i made a mistake... -the option "live install " is actually "try ubuntu without any change to your computer" and it is the FIRST option not the second one as i said above
- using option F4 and selecting" safe graphic mode" instead of normal resolves this problem and takes me to the live desktop where i can now install the beta note the firmware error message occured with the second install option "install ubuntu" and it says: b43-phy0 ERROR: you must go to http://linuxwireless.org/eng/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware (version 4). b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found or load failed. -- BETA 8.04 CD Fails To install on Dell Laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217527 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
