I have an old Gateway Solo laptop. I have been successfully running Xubuntu Linux on it. This week, I have been trying to install the latest version, 7.04, “Feisty Fawn.” It freezes at the “Installing system” stage. It says “15 percent” and “Detecting file systems.” I used my live CD’s tool for checking the integrity of the ISO, and supposedly it is OK. Is there anything I can do to have a successful install?

For someone beginning Linux from 15+ years of windows, what would be the best version of Linux to learn? Ubuntu/ Fedora/ Mandriva aren’t options due to driver conflicts with my installed Graphics card.
Though the live cds run from windows and look great, i cant get to the graphics end on boot up. the screen glows bluish black and theres nothing…
Any recommendations?

What is the best version of Linux when using it as a Live CD?
It is the only one with x86! I have a pentium m intel centrino on my laptop and i suppose it is x86 architecture! Is it or not??
And i have problems installing it! I boot from the cd and it gets me in live cd and from there, i can not install the OS because i do not know how to do it!
Do i need to download something else, or tell me how to install it on the hard!
Please help me!
The minimal is the only one avalabile with x86 architecture(they have more versions of gentoo but will anyone else work for x86 they have amd, sparc and many more )
It is not the livecd because they have a live cd version too i havee the minimal cd/install cd, the only one avalabile for x86! I boot it up and it mounts something and it gets me into a console where it says livecd root#
