I tried to install linux Mint on a partition ( I am taking Mint with
Mate desktop up to my uncles next month, he has an XP laptop &
wants to install linux), but it failed, 32 bit, 64 bit.. dropped me
to the initramfs prompt.<br>
I ended up installing ubuntu, which worked. I think the issue was
with my MBR having something wrong with it.. I am running Fedora,
but I also have another linux OS installed ( always good to have a
backup..) in case fedora fails. I fixed my MBR I may try to install
Mint again..<br>
