tried to install it. The first two times at about 60% of files copied it<br>
croaked and left me at the Live User Screen. The third time (I went directly to<br>
'install' rather than selecting it from Live User) it finished installing etc<br>
but then croaked trying to install the boot loader.<br>
<br>
At this point I went home and tried to install my old Fedora 17. It went much<br>
more quickly but has also failed at the point of trying to install the boot<br>
loader.<br>
<br>
In between I had tried to do a disk-install of Knoppix, but even when I<br>
formatted the disk to have the partitions that Knoppix wanted it kept telling<br>
me that it couldn't find the appropriate partitions to install.<br>

So now my nice computer, that at least was working this morning, even though<br>
Evo<br>
was giving me grief, now has apparently been bricked.<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Are you sure there's no hardware issue? Bad memory, etc. </div></div><br></div></div>
