Re: Computer go BOOM!
Ah, but that only leads to a page of download links. The server you're using must be on a go-slow. If you're using one of the SK servers, that would be odd.FBM wrote:I got http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=119rEvolutionist wrote:Where are you downloading it from?

You might want to kill that one and attempt to download from another location. Maybe the "other" SK server, as I can see two entries for SK. Failing that, I'm not sure where the best server might be located.

At 560/966 MB now, but it's still reading 1 hour completion time. It's bedtime here, so I think I'll just leave the 'puter running and wake up to a full download to take to the office in the a.m.

Re: Computer go BOOM!
When you first try it, use it in "Live" mode first (i.e. don't install it). See how it runs like that for a while, and if you are happy, then install it.
