One more suggestion is to use the initial menu entry to check the CD. It
can take a while is is wekk worth the time to determine that the CD is
working for the machine on which yoou are doing the install. If the self
check of all the md5sums for all the files fails, it is definitely time to
try another download and burn before trying the install.

I was just wondering, is it normal for Ubuntu to take a really long time to install, i have a Lenovo thinkpad R60 w/ 2.0 Intel and 1 gig of ram and the install speed is killing me. Any guidance would be appreciated.Ray---------------------------------------------------PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.usTo subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings:http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
