Hi Hazel, This report surprises me, as I tested that exact image a number of times in a number of different scenarios and it worked fine for me. Can you tell us more about your setup, please? How do you use the ISO? On a USB stick, or on a CD/DVD? If on USB, how exactly did you write the USB stick? What partition and filesystem setup did you use? Finally, there should be log files in /var/log/installer on your new system. Could you share those with us as well please? -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "I've only once written 'SQL is my bitch' in a comment.
