[tlinux-users:07988] Re: Installs Unsuccessful

Did you run the media check on the Boot/Install media?  I had Problems with
a bad Burn and the install would not complete.  Also, Make sure you set the
USB in BIOS not to use legacy emulation. I have a A65 P4,1GB, 3.2ghz etc, I
got everything to function on it with DapperDrake and got almost Everything
(PCMCIA prob) on SUSE 10.1 FYI... i ran the install and left the room during
the install because it looked like nothing was happening,  in other words be
patient during the install.
