The problem is that the install program expects a screen resolution of 1024x768 but the live CD only allows 640x480 or 800x600 with the Matrox card I happen to have on this system.
It turns out that ALT-LeftButton allows the installer window to be dragged which allowed me to complete the install.
I now need to get a serial mouse working with Ubuntu.
You are a glutton for punishment! How old is this system?
The system isn't all that old, it has a PS/2 mouse connector but I don't have a (decent) PS/2 mouse whereas I do have some very usable Mouse Systems optical mice.
It's all up and running now and seems pretty OK running Ubuntu 7.0.4, it has 384Mb of memory, a 40Gb hard disk and an AMD K5 (I *think*) processor.
