Ubuntu installer running slooooooow

English Install/Boot/Login

I was messing around couple linux distros and a desktop earlier today. When I booted from the Ubuntu disk, it seemed to take like 2-5 minutes on each screen. So was basically taking like 10 minutes before I even got to the disk’s menu. When i booted the machine off of openSUSE 11.2 disk it booted nice and fast, then installed without a hitch.

When i put the Ubuntu disk into my laptop it booted fast and fine there.

I’m just curious if anyone has any ideas why that desktop would seem to disagree with a bootable Ubuntu disk like that. Those things are obviously designed to work with near anything. It’s a standard IDE CD-ROM, 7600GT, IDE hard drive, all pretty standard stuff.

It shouldn’t. Maybe you’ll find some answers in an ubuntu forum.

Yeah I’ll have to check there, it’s not the end of the world. I’m just really curious why it happens.

Figured I’d ask here in case it was some setting or text file line that everyone but me knows about, haha.
