[---] No I could get as far as the boot menu fine, but when I selected install it compiled the kernal 100%, but then the screen went blank, I even left it for a couple of hrs while I did something else to make sure it was not just slow at doing what it was.

Maybe the mother board or something :-( going from bad to worse now I think .... the computer won't even get as far as cmos now .... its just putting out long beeps with pauses between, mind you that computer did that once b4 many months back after being shifted, but it came right, maybe something is loose or it has a dry joint or something, either way looks like my linux project is down the tubes or at least on hold for now :-( Thanks all for helpful comments. Kind Regards Reg
