Hi Tom, Yes I clicked the icon ... no action other than a burst of activity from the CD drive. I have not tried running Mint from the disk, will do. Also will check the disk for errors. Hadn't thought of that. Also I'll try Alt- F1 to get a console. Regards etc, Ray. >----Original Message---- >From: tompotts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >Date: 11/02/2013 12:01 >To: <list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Subj: Re: [LUG] Mint 14 install > >On 11/02/13 10:19, raymond. knowles@xxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: >> Hi All, >> >> Having problems with a Mint 14 installation onto >> an HP Pavilion >> (ex Vista, ex Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) machine. >> >> >> The disk (LXF 168) appears to do all the usual things one >> would >> expect for a fresh install.
