Well, when I try to install dsl to my hard drive I complete all the partitioning and start the install process following the steps on the website and it starts to install.  Then it gets to the writing blocks and accounting part does that for a while and then shuts off.  I have no idea why this is happening or how to fix it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Danny

You didn;t mention what type of machine and it;s pertinent hardware:
video card, mobo, ram, processor, any strange adapters you may have plugged...

Also, did you verify the md5 checksum before you burned the cd? a corrupted image can cause all manner of strange problems...

wow. nice rig. should run like lightening if you get it installed.
I would have to suspect a corrupted cd if it fails during the write stage.  Verify the md5sum of the iso you downloaded, and if it's ok,
just try to run from the cd and try starting more apps. it may show up a bad spot.  The only thing you may have some issue with is the video and wifi card, but that would have shown up running from the live cd.

rethinking. If it runs well from cd, then there should be no hardware issues. have you run it a while? it could be an acpi issue, if it stays up running from cd, I don't see why it would fail doing writes.
