Google your problem first. Check the Wiki. Read the existing threads.
It's okay to "hijack" an existing thread, yes! If your problem is not yet covered, open a new thread. To get the quickest possible help, mention the exact release codename in your post (uname -a is a good idea, too). Due to the lack of crystal balls, attach the
output of lspci -nnk if you encounter hardware problems.

Hello,
try:
gksudo live-installer
or, if you want a very basic, CLI based ("expert") installer,
sudo bbqinstaller
Good luck!
(Explanation: cli-installer was used for the first releases, this was replaced by bbqinstaller and bbqinstaller-gui -- these are still existing and can be used as installer for the redistributable ISO. The latest graphical installer is live-installer. If it fails, you can still fall back to bbqinstaller. I recommend the CLI version because it actually shows you what it does. It is recommended to prepare the drives with a partitioning tool and label them in case you have many different partitions on your drive)

Thank you sir.
Worked like a charm posting this from a fresh escargot install.
Now it's time to play!
