Install hangs on laptop
I have an older laptop the "management" wants me to use instead of buying something that works. Not an antique but a couple years old. An HP with Turion AMD CPU, ATI video. When I try to install in graphical mode, it hangs after package selection. Doesn't matter whether I select server or workstation or customize. Just always hangs with the mouse frozen. If I try in text mode it hangs very early in the process with "panic occurred, switching back to text console." It was already in text mode. Windows installs just fine.
Before I toss it, any ideas? Thanks.

Tk_InitConsoleChannels(3) Tk Library Procedures Tk_InitConsoleChannels(3)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tk_InitConsoleChannels - Install the console channels as standard channels
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
Tk_InitConsoleChannels(interp)
ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter in which the console channels are created.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
Tk_InitConsoleChannels is invoked to create a set of console channels and install them as the standard channels. All I/O on these channels
will be discarded until Tk_CreateConsoleWindow is called to attach the console to a text widget.
This function is for use by shell applications based on Tk, like wish, on platforms which have no standard channels in graphical mode, like
Win32.
The interp argument is the interpreter in which to create and install the console channels.
NOTE: If this function is used it has to be called before the first call to Tcl_RegisterChannel, directly, or indirectly through other
channel functions. Because otherwise the standard channels will be already initialized to the system defaults, which will be nonsensical
for the case Tk_InitConsoleChannels is for.
