Hi mate
Give it a go again may be your disc was faulty you could burn one a gain (at the lowest speed setting) or pick one up from this months Linux format, don't give up
i did not and its taken me 8 years to got nearly where i want to be with Linux, now if only i could get my bluray to play, i be using windows that much less.
Re: not so mint
sounds like you have a hardware problem, been using XP for a couple of years before switching to Mint, and never "lost" one ... while wishing you all the luck, I don't think you'll be more successful with another operating system
Re: not so mint
hemlin,
Mint installed perfectly on my used laptop and all the other older computers I've tried it on. You should burn another copy of Mint at a slow speed as a previous poster suggested and try it again and let us know if you still come up with all those errors. Maybe try one of the lighter-weight Mint distros if your computer's older.
