I am trying to load Server 11.10 i386 form an iso image on a usb stick. It loaded desktop instead. does not run tasksel during install and definitely loads GUI.

Anybody else having this problem?

In the iso file under .disk/info it shows "Ubuntu-Server 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release i386 (20111011)"

I'm downloading another copy now and see if its the same.

Stumped

Thanks

  • did you check the Ubuntu md5sum

  • I looked at that and not sure exactly what to look for but the top lines show "./dists/oneiric/Release". Anything in particular I should look for?

  • help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM this should help

  • Thanks for that info BlueXrider! I followed the guidelines on the How To and came up with a match for 11.10 Ubuntu Server i386 for the iso. All but three files match the md5sum.txt file on the USB stick as well. The three files are similar to "./install/netboot/pxelinux.0". I tried to install on the same machine different hard drive with the same results. The laptop that I am creating the startup USB is 11.10 Desktop so not sure if that is an issue. I will try creating from a different machine and see what happens. Otherwise not sure what is going on.
