I am trying to do a new install of LinHES 7.4. I had a difficulty getting the timezone setup to appear. I booted from the CD several times and had the same problem. I started this topic to ask why it wasn't showing up but just before I hit the submit button, there it was. Quite unexpectedly the timezone setup screen appeared and I was able to navigate through the rest of the setup screens. I thought I was all set. However, when I came to the last install warning-screen I pressed 'yes' (or OK or whatever positive answer is used) but then promptly was met by an error screen.saying I encountered a 'mv_install error'. I looked at the bottom of /tmp/mythvantage_install.log and found
Code:

My hardware is:
MB: Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L
CPU: Pentium E5400
GPU: Nvidia GT240
Mem: 4GB
HDD: 1 TB SATA
Any idea what I need to do to correct this? Non-swap partitions are set for ext3.

Edit: Now I am having problems again with the timezone setup. The screen doesn't appear. All I get is the blue background screen. Of course, installation stops right there since I can't set a timezone. I can't even get to the error cited above anymore. This happens using 7.4 and 7.3. Is my hardware that weird?
