I really don't know what is wrong with my machine.I had an ubuntu livecd downloaded months ago and when booting the livecd it drops me in busybox shell with the error cp: can't create /root/var/log with other stuffs and having the initramfs prompt. I google a bit and realized that it was a bug and that it was fixed.so i downloaded a new iso last week and tried it and it's the very same problem.i tried the livecd on another desktop older than mine and it could boot properly and worked, that's where i'm confused. i'm just balancing between fedora and ubuntu and i use fedora 10 before without much problem a part from the graphics(saying that because fedora 10 is not that old and that my machine can support new linux os).i'm switching to ubuntu coz normally it's relatively adequate for home use and should be easier. so what do you suggest? thanks for reading
