an update Further, when I try to install either the desktop version or the ALTERNATE version of Intrepid on this problem IBM model 8303, it will go thru the entire installation process just fine but when I get to the end, I get NO desktop/xserver. I can not even get to a prompt of any type. I have to push and hold the power button to get the machine to shutdown.
Sooooooo, I then figure that perhaps I can try Gutsy again. I then install Gutsy from the ALTERNATE version CD, all goes well. I then do a distribution UPGRADE from Gutsy to Hardy. All goes well. I then do a distribution UPGRADE from Hardy to Intrepid. For the most part all goes well (a few warning messages here and there) but when all is finished on the UPGRADE to Intrepid, I have a desktop/xserver that I can see and as far as I can tell a functioning Intrepid O/S. So my question is, why I could not get this same result by installing Intrepid DIRECTLY from either the Live CD or ALTERNATE cd version of Intrepid ? Yes, both of these CD have had the intregrity check function ran on them multiple times (they passed) and they have been used to install Intrepid to other machines with ZERO problems.
