Install error from freespire disk


I bought Linux Freespire on ebay. Backed up HD and loaded. It cleaned the HD and started installing. I then got an error code(didn't write down number).

Net net, I REALLY want to load Linux XP on my laptop, which has 512 RAM and 30 GB HD and 800mhz processor( I understand that's borderline)

Please help!

Thanks!

James

Please don't jump into other (unrelated) threads. I will report and see if they can move this to it's own thread.

You will have to tell us what errors you get when trying to install.

Your hardware should be fine.

If you have trouble with Freespire, there are MANY other free Linux versions. (Freespire is free, so I hope you did not pay too much for it.... )

See my "getting started" link below..
