[NBLUG/talk] Installation problem

[Alan Bloom]

Thanks guys for all your help.

This image from the installation program implies (on the bottom line) 
that I already have Ubuntu installed in the second partition:

But I can't boot from it.  If I unplug the thumb drive and cycle power 
the computer boots to Windows with no option for Linux.

If I set up the partition like this:

and hit the "Install Now" button, I again get the "No root file system 
is defined" error message:

I feel like I'm almost there...  :=)
