[Bug 84443] Kubuntu will not complete install.

[MarkSGT]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kubuntu-desktop

Hi, I'm pretty new to kubuntu, ubuntu etc. I purchased kubuntu ver. 6.06
from a ebay seller. I tried to do a clean install on an older intel
computer with a celeron processor running at 466 Mhz, and 256 mb ram on
a 20 gigb fomatted hdd. I would click to "insall or run from disk". It
would then get to "loading essential drivers"    "ok"  Then: "mounting
root file system". That's as far as it gets. I thought it might have
been the disk. So I got one from the kubuntu shipit site. I put that
disk (kubuntu ver. 6.06) into the same computer. It went through the
post and stopped. Stating that I needed to use "CD2 or update my bios".
Since I couldn't update my bios, and had no idea what CD2 was, I bought
a "newer" computer. A Gateway with a P4 1.4 processor, 256 mb rimm ram
and 64 mb nVidia graphics card. It will load (from the cd) the kubuntu
desktop. I will then click the "install" icon and it will go through the
partitoning step, and then make it (always) to step 6. "Installer" would
quickly get to 97% and will freeze (computer). It some times makes to:
"Copying files 13:04 (etc.) remain". Get to 10, maybe 25% and then
freeze! I also ran check cd for errors,(on both) and would get "ok"
untill it gets to: "checking./casper/filesystem.sqaushfs". The blue
progress bar will cycle through a few times. And then instead of "ok" it
would say: "mismatch" and then continue checking the disk followed by
all "ok"s. I cannot post a bug report as the computer is not online yet.
I will try later to get it hooked up online. I'm just trying to install
this os to see if it would be worth using instead of windows! Thanks.
