Ubuntu 9.04 Server Guide
Installing from CD
The basic steps to install Ubuntu Server Edition from CD are the same for installing any operating system from CD. Unlike the Desktop Edition the Server Edition does not include a graphical installation program. Instead the Server Edition uses a console menu based process.
- First, download and burn the appropriate ISO file from the Ubuntu web site3.
- Boot the system from the CD-ROM drive.
- At the boot prompt you will be asked to select the language. Afterwards the installation process begins by asking for your keyboard layout.
- The installer then discovers your hardware configuration, and configures the network settings using DHCP. If you do not wish to use DHCP at the next screen choose “Go Back”, and you have the option to “Configure the network manually”.
- Next, the installer asks for the system’s hostname and Time Zone.
