time of install how long to wait 8.4 Hardy Heron

[RickyFingers]

I'm installing hardy 8.04 from a live CD graphic install tool, the process is still saying 15% complete it's been over an hour how long do I wait before I try again? THANKS

It better for you to check the CD for defects (MD5 hash), usually - with that span of time waiting, you should be running/experimenting/browsing the web with your Hardy System by now.

Yeah, it's probably a CD error.

Honestly (right now I'm frustrated with Hardy, so take it with a grain of salt), I wouldn't even check the checksum, I would just throw the CD out of your window.

Thanks I'll try again.

Thanks I'll try again.

Good, just don't be discouraged on people giving negative posts about Hardy. Give it a try on yourself first before believing in them.

Suggestion: If you did have a wrong MD5 hash, try burning it at a lower speed.

I'm trying to install to a old PC. Pentium 3, 190 MB ram, 20GB hard drive. I can run successfully off the live CD but the install fails. Is the machine to small/old? Should I try the light version of Ubuntu?
