Howdy. I was having trouble installing Kubuntu, Ubuntu, and Slackware when I tried to reach out further for an alternative that actually works.
I saw the reviews of Mint and I fell in love.
However, the install of Cassandra utterly fails to work.
I get this error: /bin/sh: Can't access tty; Job control turned off
What do I do? The Ubuntu forums suggest the alternate install cd, which I don't think Mint has, plus the alternative install for ubuntu still had tons of problems (not recognizing broadband, graphics failing)
Thanks in advance!

I checked out the md5 hash and burned as slow as possible.
I have:

2GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm
14.1 inch Wide Screen WXGA+ TL LCD for Inspiron 1420
Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 3100 Inspiron 1420

I checked the troubleshooting guide, too. It isn't working for me. I tried the part where it says:

If I get brave I may try to install later.
