Hi All; Paul, Sorry about not being clear.. When Installing Linux Mint, it is
in Partition mode, goes on thru to about 73% of that process, and (Like the
other night) it stayed at 73% for over 2 and a half hours, not moving.. When I
shut it off and went to bed..It says something like "determining file
structure"..When Mint is working, it goes in Partition mode, sets up the Drive
(I think formats the drive) and then copies the files to the Drive after
copying them they are Extracted and Mint is set up, so that the full system is
there and is bootable..So the problem is early in the Process, when setting up
the drive possibly formatting it and Partitioning it (getting it ready for the
files to be copied).. Making the 'Root' Partition and the 'swap' Partition..
Somewhere in that process it stops working.. I did have a thought this morning
while mowing my friends lawn .. That If I can sort of do a compare on the Linux
Mint Version 5 and the Individual programs that are in the List for Linux Mint
ver 5, and make a Map of where the different parts of what I have on the list
is located in the Mint program.. Maybe I could find the Part that has the
Partition program and see if that is or has a 'bug' or error in it.. THANK YOU
Marty

That is "debugging", and I don't know if it CAN be trained. I've observed that
some people are good at building detailed mental constructs from hypotheticals
and making judgements and comparisons with and about them, and others need to
have a reality presented to them. It's sort of the difference between an
engineer and a mechanic. I think it's a talent.

Your description is still not precise enough for me to get an idea of what's
going wrong. Something as simple and direct as telling me what is going on at
the time it fails, e.g. runing some particular program, what made you decide it
was "stuck". "Stuck" isn't an operative word.
