Installation hangs
by Kitler from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6J4VD)
Hi, i have been trying to install Mx linux (21,23, 23.1) but it always hangs on "gathering information", the log window shows the last thing running is "parted -lm". At first i though it was having problems reading my partitions, so i formatted the disk but didn't work.
