How the hell do you install nUbuntu?
I downloaded the ISO and booted it up to see what it was like and was met with an install screen.
I pressed F1 to 'install' it but was met with a Linux 'DOS' screen.
I'm new to Linux and although I have installed lots of them in the past they were easy point and click ones.
Can anyone help me and tell me what I have to type to actually get into the OS?
Thanks

Hi and Welcome !
i think you have burned .iso image incorrectly. Select BURN IMAGE TO DISK option in your CD Burner package.
.iso images are bootable by default. dont create bootable CD or burn as data disk.
burn .iso file as an IMAGE only.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

I think the image was burned correctly since you were brought to some sort of bootup screen. However I think that your disk is faulty, or the iso you downloaded is faulty.
- 06-30-2007 #4if you select 'Create Bootable CD', most of CD Burners install DR DOS in first sector of CD to make it bootable.

Yeah it was burned fine, it boots up when I start my PC.
The DOS like screen says to use the sudo command but being new to all this I don't know what this means.
(I would have thought being in the Ubunbu family it would have been just as easy to install)

nUbuntu is not supposed to be easy to install, neither easy to use, is not even supposed to be used as a desktop, it's not part of the Ubuntu family.
It purpouse is to test network security, it doesn't contain GNOME, not even X, it's a command-line operating system
