OT: ubuntu install problem

[Richard Kreiss]

I realize this isn't the normal place to ask, but since most of you are
involved in *nix, I thought I would start here.

I downloaded ubuntu and created in install disk.  The disk checks out fine.


I have been trying to install this on a Thinkpad T23 which currently had Win
XP Pro., 256Mb RAM and a 30GB hard drive with 20GB free.

When the install starts, I see and error message, but I can't get the system
to pause to read the whole message.  It appears to be something about a
firmware upgrade.  The install continues after that but then hangs up when
it tries to partition the drive.

What I would like to know "is there an install log file" somewhere from this
installation attempt?

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
