I can start the install but after about 2min, the whole pc just dies. I know it's not a Linux prob and here is what I have encountered: I had the same problem when installing Win on it and eventually sorted it out by disabling the infrared port. I'm guessing this might be same prob although I'm not sure. I am very new to Linux so it's not that easy for me to work it out. I did manage to follow the setup procedure at one stage (using images on disks) and it cuts out either as it's trying to verify what CD-Rom I have or just after (hence my suspicion of the infrared port again). can anyone help ? thanks Gianni ************************************************************************ This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which they are addressed.
