This machine had windows on it when I bought it.
Starting the 7.04 live CD/installer causes a freeze during startup.
Something about a Gnome daemon not starting.
The xubuntu 7.04 installer freezes while detecting partitions at about 14% done
The ubuntu 6.06 installer freezes while moving from step 1 to step 2
NetBSD installs perfectly, no problems, so it isn't something really basic about this machine.
I deleted all partitions and repeated the xubuntu installation with the same result. I did this because I suspected it hung while trying to re-size an NTFS partition.
Any suggestions would be welcome. I have googled around for other examples of this problem but nobody else has seen this.
Thanks in advance.
