Hi chaps,

just a quick tip for those installing Zorin 5,64 Bit, I just did an install on a:

Packard Bell
EasyNote TK
AMD Athlon IIX2
ATI Mobility Radeon HD4250
4 GB DDR3 Memory

and after I installed I did the normal reboot of the system but it wouldn't start correctly (twice), so I re-booted again and this time went into recovery mode and updated via dpkg, so if your PC won't boot after a clean install, follow my tip and you should be good to go afterwards.

Make sure you have a running internet LAN connection and not a WiFi connection as it won't update via WiFi in that mode. All you must do is say "yes" (y) at the right moment!.

Once the update is, finished simply re-boot. (for those that don't know the command line simply press "crtl + alt + del")

Regards Wolfman :D
