My wife has a Toshiba Satellite L455D-55976 running on an AMD Sempron Single Core chip with 2GB RAM. It's a 32 bit. I downloaded and installed Mint 10 rc1 with no problems. You may have a bad download, or as I call it bad burn. II tested the disc before the install. It ran fine so I installed it with no difficulties. Everything ran fine out of the box in spite of it running on the back side of Windows 7 Home Premium Edition. It took 30 minutes to install and about 10 to update with no extra packages added. I have had similar issues with other versions of Linux, mainly Debian, where I have gotten bad burns. So if it was I, and he likes that particular version of Linux I would try to download and burn again. |

I used to have bad burns a lot. Then I learned to be "not" in a hurry and burned at slow speed No bad burns anymore |

If your laptop can boot from USB its easier to just install from USB. I no longer use my optical drive to install operating systems, even if I have to install Windows. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net |
