G'Day All.

Got a spare DELL Studio 15 laptop wich I want to throw KALI64 on.

History:
First trial with the then provided ISO image when it came out first failed. Creation of a VMWare VM using said ISO failed as well. The then provided 32bit VM worked.
I had sent a note to the KALI guys about the first failure.

Current:
Creation of a VM using downloaded image - kali-linux-1.0.2-amd64.iso - worked on several machines.
However - trying to install from DVD to HD on said DELL Studio still fails again during step 'Installing System'.

The hardware is fine - rechecked it several times. I've installed Fedora SecLab 18+ plus several other Linux flavours on it with no problems at all during the past weeks.

Any idea?
What would be required as 'More Information' to solve this?

Cheers

G'Day All Again,

just to let you know the solution to this particular problem after a hint by another old time Linuxer:
Burn the downloaded ISO image at lower speed.

Did that - and lo: installation worked from that DVD. Interesting, though.

Cheers
