Hi

After trying xubuntu karmic and it not setting up any network devices (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1337062) I thought I'd try ubuntu intrepid instead.

The install has locked up three times in a row at about 50% with the screen going blank and all the keyboard LEDs flashing. Any idea what might cause this? I'm resetting the partitions and formatting each time.

I'm starting to think this P3 is doomed not to run any variant but I don't want to give up yet.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks

Try downloading the mini.iso: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD

Run through that and when it gets to the blue screen install what you want. Desktop, Server...
