Getting ready to install Ubuntu 6.10..

It is giving me an option list ..

Install in text mode..

Install in OEM mode.

I'm still quite new to Linux and would like to know what would be the right or best choice here..

Thanks

OEM i guess. I don't remember it giving me that option. Either is fine of course since they both install, but one looks prettier

Ya, i didnt get this option, and i do remember because i just installed it. I think both modes do the same thing, its just that oem is graphics cause text mode is, well, text.

Oh wait, OEM is a predetermined install, mostly automated. Don't install using it! use graphical

wow, someone forgot the main post already he said graphical wasnt one of the options. so if it isnt oem, then it not there.

I meant to expand on it more but i was on the run. I just didn't want him to go with OEM incase he was dual booting!

He download the "alternative" cd. Its an OEM/text base installer. I'd go back and get the regular cd, so A) You have a live boot disk and b)GUI installer.

Just use the text-mode installer. It isn't anymore difficult, it just looks less pretty.

for the first install of Linux, You can choose by Yourself the best way. By grafical it would be easier, by text mode - i think You would learn more while You're the new one Good luck
