Ok, decided to do a fresh install of 10.5 onto my Mini, got my install disk (I purchased the family license so it's a copy onto a DVD-DL)
It boots off it, checks the disk, all is good. Then it tries to install, gets to "estimated time 1hour 6 minutes" and sits there for several hours doing nothing.
I've had a look at the logs and it copies a file onto the hard disk and tries to uncompress it and just sits there.
Any advice?
Update: I've just ran the Apple Hardware Test and it's come back with 4MEM/1/40000000 which as far as I can tell means some dodgy memory somewhere? Got two new sticks to test in it and see if that cures it.
