Ok, so I have the ISO image burned on a disk. Then when I re-boot it brings me to the install screen, I choose install and it brings up the loading icon, after a few minutes that disappears and then a blinking text box cursor shows up, The screen doesnt change after this. I looked at some tutorials and this screen doesnt show at all

Any help?

did you run the cd first, without installing?

Running it before install is a good idea, I agree. Did you check the md5sum on the disc to make sure the data was correct?

grub will install itself. did you burn your cd at low speed and how much ram do you have?
