It could be you have some bad CD/DVD's.
If you didn't check the hardware against the distro's compatibility
list, then maybe some of your hardware is incompatible. If the correct
drivers are available on the distro, things won't function.
You could have intermittent problems with one of your sticks of RAM.
I tried installing Mint on this computer I am using now... wouldn't
install. So I installed CentOS... runs like a dream.
My last distro on this machine was RHEL3... it ran great for over five
years. I'm guessing that CentOS 5.4 is close enough to RHEL3
hardware-wise, that it was a perfect fit.
If it runs for the next five years as well as RHEL3 did, I'll be a happy
camper!
