RE: Edubuntu Installation freezes

Hi, you might have a memory problem...

Boot off the edubuntu cd and chose memory test.

Let the memory test run for an hour or so. If there are errors, you need to replace the faulty memory.

Hope this helps.

Michael

Subject: Edubuntu Installation freezes

 

 Hello

 

I am hoping someone can help me with a problem I am facing with the installation of Edubuntu 6.06.1

 

1) I downloaded the iso package and burned a CD.

2) I booted from the CD on my target machine and selected "workstation" install.

3) The installation froze part way through the installation.

4) I tried to boot/install again and got the same result, but with the freeze happening at a different point.

5) I burned a new CD on media from a different company.

6) I tried again, and again the installation would freeze (but at a different point than the other two)

7) I checked the Internet and read that someone said "burning at a slower speed" worked for him.  I burned a third CD at 8X.

8) I installed a CD writer in the target machine and used "CD copy #2" from the "CD writer" rather than the previous "DVD reader".  It went a little further (up to package installation) but then froze.

9) I tried again, this time with CD#3 (slow burn) running on the CD writer, and again it froze, but at a new point in the installation.

10) I tried looking in the Internet for an "ftp installation" option for Edubuntu (like Mandrake Linux which I was previously able to install using the ftp install option) since I have broadband, but it appears that option is not available with Edubuntu/Ubuntu etc.

 

Questions:

1) What am I missing?  How can I get the install to complete?

2) If the installation freezes, is there any option to allow a "continue install" after I reboot?

3) Is "ftp install" available for Edubuntu?

 

Thanks

Mishaal
