I tried that. I burned a new CD after verifying the MD5 sum. All ok. I reinstalled MD 8.2 after reformatting all but /home. I made sure that I clicked the install for CUPS and Foomatic during the install. Same thing. Whenever I try to run software manager and install ANYTHING from the CD, it grinds for about 20-30 seconds and freezes. I'm believing that I either have a hardware conflict (I removed all suspect cards), or my motherboard is going on the fritz. In the middle of all of this, it started reporting the wrong voltage for -12V and indicated -14.2V instead. I had to "ignore" that warning in the BIOS to proceed. Other than the above described problem, everything else seems to be ok. ??? Any other suggestions? If I lived closer to a lake, I might just have a nice boat anchor.... My next and last attempt will be to try to reinstall 8.1 which worked fine.
