I'd like to register the fact that I too have the same problem. I'm running a Dell Optiplex & trying to install the i386 version.
I've found loads of prblems on the Dell Optiplex's (theres been 7 go through my 'lucky' fingers. I know there are issues with USB (with KVM's) & Grub (lilo works, and I think i remember grub2 working - but it means you have to get online to install a working install) MD5 is good, have tried 2 CDrom's and 2 different 2G memory sticks. All work on other machines. have not tried other linux's. this is a 32bit install on a 64bit machine. if I can be useful in sorting this, let me know, but the optiplex will be installed later today, and i can't gain physical access afer that. -- Unable to install Hardy Beta Desktop i386 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205359 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
