I am trying to get 3.6 installed on an older Athlon vintage around 2004--32 bit. It's a homebuilt. The primary IDE channel seems to be broken, so the installation drive is hooked up to a promise card. The computer then recognizes it has a hard drive to install the OS.
In any case the install goes along fine until it hit creating user and then it stops repeatedly. If I bail out at that point, it won't boot up. I am guessing that after "creating user" it puts on the boot loader.
So, does anyone know how I get out of this stall? I also tried installing Linux LXLE and the same thing happens with that. I like Linux Lite the best though.
RSVP if you have any ideas. My web connection is fine. It is a wired connection, and the indicator on the screen says it is running OK.
