Greetings,
Yesterday I tried to install the i386 version of the new Ubuntu Studio
9.04. I erased some partitions, got everything set up and going
swimmingly, then after a while I noticed that the installer had hung up
at an error. The error message informed me that the Select And Install
Software stage had failed. I chose to continue, went on to install Grub,
and then it failed too, with a similar message re: failure to install
Grub. Alas, at this point the installer went spinning into the dead
zone. I couldn't proceed, the error panel obscured the continuation
panel, and I eventually had abort the installation. Fortunately my 64
Studio partition was untouched, and the installer had left my original
Grub menu intact, so I still have a workable system on this machine.
Incidentally, the error message advises lowering the speed of my CD/DVD
drive. How can I make that happen ?
Did that error message recommend something like burning the image at 8x
speed? I saw that recommendation when I tried to burn an image here.
The only problem with their recommendation is that my DVD/CDRW burner
won't go any slower than 16x ...
