>8 minutes is the fastest I've seen posted. How reproducible is that? I can easily beat that. For one, I've brand new to Linux. I've tried 7.10 and now 8.04. Both locked up with the standard install. And I'm talking before it was even at the point of picking which hard drive to install it on. Basically, I stick the CD in, click "Install" and it locks up. And it would lockup and different points as the Ubuntu Loader screen was running.
I did, however, try the "Alternate CD" the other night with 8.04 and it worked! YAY! However, after it rebooted and it took me to the login screen, I entered the credentials, and as it was playing the "startup sound" it locked up and repetitively played about a 1 second clip of it continuously until i had to reboot. Now, even in "recovery mode" it locks up even before getting to the logon screen . My hardware is fine as I've been running XP and/or Vista on it for 2 years.
