Hello!

No, not related unless you told it to use ntp. I have installed 10 a number of times.

How much ram do you have?

Have you tested this cd either on a different system or a virtual machine or with md5/shal?

Thanks for the help. I have 512K memory. I have not checked the disk out on another system yet.

Can you run the live cd normally?

Hi Jefro, thanks again. Yes I can run it normally. Sorry I pop in & out. I multitask all day long.

I guess it is possible that the disk is bad somehow or some issue with the system. I don't think this is normal or a common problem.

Might try to get a new or test your iso source to be sure it is good. Then burn it on a quality cd at slowest speeds and try to install it again. dunno. maybe a usb flash install to try it?

Hi gold57,
I had the same trouble where the forward button will be greyed out at the page where you are to enter in your user name password etc. you have to only use small letters and no caps, also no spaces. if you do this you should be able to proceed.
