Torreydale: You're post should get mentioned a lot. That is something I ALWAYS do. When installing a Linux OS I always used a wired ethernet connection, even if the computer has wi-fi. Many a time I've booted a live disk, have internet via LAN, but the little wi-fi light isn't on. At least with an internet connection you can troubleshoot. I've been noticing that many new computers no longer have ethernet ports, or VGA ports. Most new laptops are HDMI only.
