Hi all!
I'm trying to install 10.10 to my very old 1GHhz Athlon based desktop machine, but when I boot with the CD in the drive, the machine just hangs at the 1st screen.
Pressing Esc during boot to see what is going on, I find that the boot always gets as far as:
"Checking battery status..."
As a desktop machine, it doesn't even have a battery. Is there anything I can do about this? Can I disable this check?
The CD worked fine in a work machine (and quite nice it looked too btw!)
Many thanks guys
Edit:
Sorry, this was somehow a double post, but I cant figure out how to delete it
