I'm trying to install Xubuntu 12.04 on an old Dell
laptop. I'm<br>
getting an error that says the installer had an
unrecoverable error<br>
and then starts a session so I can troubleshoot. The
problem is, I<br>
don't know what to look for. Any ideas?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

I'd be inclined to check the md5sum of the download and
the cd burn -<br>
if those are both good then I'd look further.<br>

You might need to use some boot options for it<br>

Also, if you don't have important data on the disk or other
operating systems, try formating the whole disk before
installation. <br>
That is: delete all partitions with gparted and format it to ext4.<br>
