There's probably a way to get it to work (special drivers or something) but I don't know. It gets a kernel panic pretty quickly every time. For what it's worth, vanilla Ubuntu 14.04 LTS workstation does not install either, but the server version works fine. BL 7 works fine on this system also...<br><br><p><a href="https://overview.mail.yahoo.com/mobile/?.src=Android">Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android</a></p> <hr><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td valign="top"> <div style="font-family:Roboto, sans-serif;color:#7e7d80;"><b>From</b>:"bio-linux-request@nebclists.nerc.ac.uk" <bio-linux-request@nebclists.nerc.ac.uk><br><b>Date</b>:Mon, Mar 30, 2015 at 7:00 AM<br><b>Subject</b>:Bio-Linux Digest,
