Re: *nix
I have been trying to install Debian (and Mint) on an HP Pavilion Desktop. The installation goes smoothly until "Grub" begins to install. At that point the entire system freezes. I have tried the install multiple times with the same result each time. Has anyone else had a similar problem and if so what did you do to work around it? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Installing Debian on an HP Pavilion p2-1140 64bit computer
I have installed Debian on my laptop (lenovo 120S) without any problem. I am trying to install it on my desktop, a HP Paavilion p2-1140 64bit. Everything goes very well until it starts to install "Grub." At that point, the machine locks up and I have to reboot. I have tried multiple times to install with the same results. I also tried to install Mint with the same results. Has anyone else had the problem and is there a way around it? -- *David Anthony* 33 Centerville Commons Way Centerville, UT 84014 Cell-801-360-4 <801-709-9430>950
