Select install with GUI Hmmm. I have been running the weekly netinst builds (usually available Monday mornings Mountain time). I have had no problem using those for the last several weeks. You might try the latest weekly build, 8/26. You say you can get a good installation using the regular (console) installation. Will the GUI run successfully on the installed system? I don't use rufus or the like, as I am installing on a virtual machine and can use the ISO image directly. Are you checking the checksums? Also, I select my installation method a bit differently that you do, as I need to feed the kernel some parameters, I hit H (for help), go to that menu, then enter "expertgui" and add some command line parameters not relevant here. I suspect that will make no difference but might be worth a try. Some other things to think about: I understand that rufus is a CD/DVD burner program for Windows. Is there any reason you are using a DVD rather than a USB stick? And if so, will rufus check the integrity of the finished DVD? Is there any reason why you need the GUI to install? I understand that the regular (console) installation is identical except for the appearance. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
