Hi,

I am a newbie to Linux but this is what I did. I tried installing linux. These cds I have are burned and I dont know if it has anything to do with it. I would then configure it and all and then it would partition my HD and then install GNOME with some packages. It will proceed the install with the first cd and then it asks for the second cd. So i insert it and then it wouldn't finish intalling...it would just exit and say "abnormal install exit" every time. I have a compaq, amd k6 400 mhz processor and a 40 gb hard drive. Please someone give me a solution and the right way to install it.

thanks
