I've tried to install Patience from DVD on two systems without success.
The first is a Dell Precision 3620. It only boots to a command prompt -- the desktop never comes up. I tried bringing up the desktop with startx, but that causes the system to hang.
The second attempt was on a Dell XPS laptop. The DVD loads and I get the desktop. The installation process goes all the way to the end without any errors. When it is finished and I reboot all I get is "Operating system not found".
I tried this with both the Mate version and also the KDE version. Results are all the same.
One other item is that the Dell Precision has a standard hard drive, while the laptop has an SSD.
