<div>Hello all</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks to everyone who helped out with advice. I found the problem.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I began to suspect an overheating problem, so I checked the CPU fan and sure enough, it was not working.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I replaced the fan and now everything is great. Installation worked and I am working on customization now.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks once again to everyone for their help.</div>

the CD has a self test option in the menu, did you run that ?<br>

Hi, you might have a memory problem...<br>
Boot off the edubuntu cd and chose memory test.<br>
Let the memory test run for an hour or so. If there are errors, you need to<br>
replace the faulty memory.<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
Michael<br>

Subject: Edubuntu Installation freezes<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Hello<br>
<br>
I am hoping someone can help me with a problem I am facing with the<br>
installation of Edubuntu 6.06.1<br>
<br>
1) I downloaded the iso package and burned a CD.<br>
2) I booted from the CD on my target machine and selected "workstation"<br>
install.<br>
3) The installation froze part way through the installation.<br>
4) I tried to boot/install again and got the same result, but with the<br>
freeze happening at a different point.<br>
5) I burned a new CD on media from a different company.<br>
6) I tried again, and again the installation would freeze (but at a<br>
different point than the other two)<br>
7) I checked the Internet and read that someone said "burning at a slower<br>
speed" worked for him. I burned a third CD at 8X.<br>
8) I installed a CD writer in the target machine and used "CD copy #2"<br>
from the "CD writer" rather than the previous "DVD reader". It went a<br>
little further (up to package installation) but then froze.<br>
9) I tried again, this time with CD#3 (slow burn) running on the CD<br>
writer, and again it froze, but at a new point in the installation.<br>
10) I tried looking in the Internet for an "ftp installation" option for<br>
Edubuntu (like Mandrake Linux which I was previously able to install using<br>
the ftp install option) since I have broadband, but it appears that option<br>
is not available with Edubuntu/Ubuntu etc.<br>
<br>
Questions:<br>
1) What am I missing? How can I get the install to complete?<br>
2) If the installation freezes, is there any option to allow a "continue<br>
install" after I reboot?<br>
3) Is "ftp install" available for Edubuntu?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Mishaal<br>
