Re: BDI 2.11 Install problem, help please.

Hi Andre

Snipped a load out here to keep things short....

The hardware you have isn't on the "To be Avoided" list except perhaps the 
USB ports. The network and graphics cards are both well supported under linux.

The telling thing is the trace report - This would indicate that a base 
package cannot be found. Possibly due to a corrupted file. I would suggest 
following Henkka's instructions* for verifying the checksum and see if they 
tally.

Regards, Paul.
