    I sort of agree... trouble is now I've got used to Ubuntu on my other machine XP is looking decidedly clunky. I will give Mint a try and perhaps Ubuntu 8.x - I couldn't get 9.x to boot on the machine in question when I tried a year or so ago... and neither would it boot crunchbang... apparently this is not a machine that likes Linux!

    These fixes all assume I can boot from a CD to the ubuntu desktop, which I cannot. This happened once, but it appears to have been a fluke.

    Tried Mint 9, same deal, CD boot hangs at splash screen.

    Have downloaded Ubuntu 8.04 and will give it a try when I get a chance.

    Ok. Hardy Heron installed fine! Great news. Any tips on how to get my wireless card working so I can get online and update it?

    Re: 10.04 install hangs on splash screen

    OK!!! Believe it or not I've solved this issue, which it turns out was caused by...my wireless card.

    Cut a long story short following an update which hung just like all the other aborted attempts I ended up semi-successfully installing openSUSE, which hung while checking for network devices. On a hunch I pulled my wireless card out and rebooted. No problem any more. A google search revealed that the chipset on the Belkin card does not play nice with Linux in general...

    I couldn't get openSUSE to connect to my network, so after a good few hours of fiddling I thought maybe, just maybe the network card might have been the issue all along...and perhaps I should try Ubuntu again.

    So - I haven't installed "normal" Ubuntu, as the Mint CD turned up first, and I thought I'd give it a go. I have now successfully booted Mint with no messing required, which had an identical issue to standard Ubuntu, so I'm 99% confident that's that what it was. Well, finally it ain't broke, so I ain't gonna try and fix it. I think I'll try Mint out and see how I get on.

    Thanks for all the help. It's only been a few days out of my life...
