text: how do i install ubuntu 6.10??  it says "no root file system!"? what the heck is no root file system when trying to install ubuntu 6.10. how do i install it to the hd? check here: http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=9712918  the question is rather vague.  what processor type and whether you are using the live cd might be an issue.  i've had the best luck using the alternative cd (non-live) and using the install from it.  also the dvd distribution contains both live and alternative install methods as well as some extra packages you may need after install.
