[ubuntu-za] Problems with my Dell machine

[Bill Cairns]

How do I do a bottom reply with gmail?

Thanks Kyle - I did the integrity check on the Dell as suggested and it went
through fine.

So I tried to do the Run / Install again and it failed at exactly the same
place. But, when I looked carefully, there was disk activity still going on.
Suspicious - especially as I have problems with the ancient monitor that I
am using on that machione.

So I might just have a hardware problem (or two or three ...)

Thanks for your help. I will keep on trying different combinations.
