Katya DVD install hangs near end

[ColJep]

I have tried to install Katya 32 bit on my experimental machine with both the RC candidate and Final release. I have formatted the / and /home partitions. The installation hangs at the download and install of language packs. This is right at the end. The only way to recover is a hard reset. As Grub is not configured properly the computer boot to a fail message.
Using the CD image and updating to the DVD spec goes without problems. I am writing this on the machine in question.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Also the wireless card which worked well in Mint 10 is no longer recognized. I will investigate this further.

Have you checked the md5sum of the DVD?

How much RAM has that computer?

[ColJep]

Sorry, yes MD5 sum of both DVD's was correct. Same for CD that worked. Remember 2 DVD's 1 RC and 1 final, burnt at different times both hung at the same place.

Edit: Computer has 4GB RAM

Very strange to me.

Yes, it's some problem. If you have 4GB of RAM and a 64-bit computer you should use the 64-bit version of Mint.

I have a similar computer running the 64 bit version of Mint 10.

It has a few minor problems running GoogleEarth and I wanted to try it out on a 32 bit system.

I still think the DVD should install correctly.

BTW my new 32 bit system seems to run GEarth much better.
