I recently dist-upgraded to Ubuntu Dapper Drake. Its awesome i must say.
I downloaded the Live+Install Cd and it refused to recognise the partitions on my first hard-disk . So people on the Ubuntu Forums suggested me to use the alternate CD. I downloaded that and got the same results. I am at my wits end tring to figure out the problem . Here is my Fdisk output from Fedora 5 ..I want to use /dev/hda2 to install Ubuntu. Also the current GRUB is installed in MBR of hda . Fedora and XP workin fine.
[root@aniket aniket]# /sbin/fdisk -l omitting empty partition (5)

Also i want to know how to configure pppoe in Ubuntu. What I did in the Live Cd was , "sudo pppoeconf" . Then I followed the wizard. But it never asked me the service/access concentrator name . I need to enter those as there are multiple pppoe services on my LAN. Please help me as I really want to use Ubuntu.
