Mint 6 laptop install freezes
Posted: Sun Feb 08, 2009 1:59 pm
I am trying to install Mint 6 on a laptop currently running Linspire 5.1.427. The install freezes at one point every time. I have to remove the battery to power down the PC. Tried a few times but no joy. The DVD seems to stop. No indication of DVD turning or reading.
Freeze point.
