Strange,
I did this and the installation stopped in the beginning.
http://catbe.dyndns.org/fotos/acer_aspire_one.jpg
shows you the picture of the screen.
It says 'you may safely reboot your system' - did it leave you with a
good
running system, presumably your old one?
What could be the difference?
Dunno. Two things come to mind - a different model of USB dvd-player
(don't
know whether a hardware problem there is possible), or a different
chipset
somewhere in the hardware even though it claims to be the same model.
Did you have a thread anywhere with a subject of failed install, and
include
that screenshot? I know there have been some install problems with some
hardware, but haven't been following those threads.
Maybe indeed the DVD player is not the right one???
I did published the same link before.
