Almost everyone runs into some kind of snag or hangup when attempting
to install Linux the first time. Most of the time, the problem is caused
by a simple misunderstanding. Sometimes, however, it can be something
more serious, such as an oversight by one of the developers, or a bug.

This section will describe some of the
most common installation problems, and how to solve them. If your installation
appears to be successful, but you received unexpected error messages
during the installation, these are described here as well.
