When I place the boot CD in my CD drive and boot from it, I get the Ubuntu menu.

I have these options

  • Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer
  • Install Ubuntu
  • Check disc for defects
  • Test memory
  • Boot from first hard disk

I can use the cursor keys to select them, and I can push F1 for help etc.

However, I can not select an option. I've highlighted the first and tried enter, space bar etc.

I do have a KVM, so I plugged in a 2nd USB keyboard and tried it but no go either.

I can push escape and then got to the prompt.

Am I doing something wrong?
