HI Jes,
What software are you using to burn the iso?
I used K3b and it went perfect.

k3b on Linux and Deepbruner in Windows

Since I first started messing with Ubuntu I have learned it's best to burn Linux distros at 2x or 4x to avoid install issues.
On an unrelated note I submitted Bianca's release to digg
hopefully it won't backfire with the site getting dugg to death

last week i burned the Bea iso on my mac and burned at high rate and no issues.
I just bruned iso from american site and burned at high speed but my new laptop isn't in yet to try to see the success or failure.
I hope it is a good CD Burn now that others are having some trouble.
Dod not stop either just plugged along on the download.
Bianca is out!

Hello Clem,
Perfect work!
The question is does the advice:
"don't select anything before installation because the installer may crash" apply to Bianca stable too?
To the friends above who had trouble with burning the ISO:
IMHO, There is nothing wrong with K3b but select a slow speed burning like 8 kbs in DAO mode.
Greetings, npap
PS. 9:00 PM GMT,
I installed Bianca on my test disc, selecting Greek before installation!
All menus are in Greek and the installation (with no Internet connection) was very easy. I am now using Linux Mint Greek Bianca.
I just got some updates, the new kernel, etc. and added Greek language pack afterwards with Control Panel>Language Support .

Just to note to say that Uncle Bob is not alone in his upgrading from Bea to Bianca results - same her, I'm still loading "Bea" when booting up.
Also I thought the menu's place and style would be changed (or it seemed so when I booted up the beta version of Bianca from CD) but now it's no different from Bea - at least on my box.
One other thing, tried to re-install openoffice-en but no luck:
mint@mint-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-en
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package openoffice.org-en
mint@mint-desktop:~$
So where's the english language version of open office?
