it sounds like the system needs to run

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Can you try that and see what happens?

Chetan, if you're still out there...

it sounds like you don't have network connectivity.

If you are installing from the LinuxMint Live CD, let it boot to live CD session, then go to the network manager and setup networking for your ISP, etc. THEN, and only then, proceed to click the "Install Mint" icon or whatever it says. That solved some nasty problems I was having.

My ISP uses PPPoE protocol. In the network manager, I had to use the menu called "DSL" to enter the password, user, etc.

Hope that helps
