The installation process stop in different places. Any recommendations? I tried Startcom which is also redhat based and the installation process ended successfully. I will keep trying to see if I can get my laptop to run Centos. I will also share my findings when trying to get my laptop to connect to the internet using bcm43xx using fwcutter, if that is ok you guys? Alfredo The Sauce
