  1. Release Notes and Errata are both dead links as of time of this post.
  2. I am in X now. Unsure why it wasn't letting me log in as root. I should check if I can now that I am in...
  3. HURRAY! I am in! Now to download and install these drivers.
  4. Ok I will give that a try. :D Thanks! artic: Yeah I can't even log into root. Keep getting a login incorrect error. =_=
  5. Sorry about posting. >< I just tried installing LE 2005 and it instantly gives me a black screen when I enter the installer.
  6. Well, I don't understand. When test the driver I select in install, it works perfect, but when I boot, black... And I tried setting the CPU speed back to normal. No difference.
  7. Ok... how do I compile them into my kernel? *currently trying to figure out how to get the drivers onto the pc* I am reinstalling it again to see if perhaps my pc glitched during install. Seriously doubt it did but I do hope it did. *EDIT* Now that you mention it, it might have to do with my overclocking. I think I will undo my overclocking and just give the CPU some more juice. :P
  8. It's worth mentioning that when I try to login as root, it gives me a login failed error and when I try to run XFdrake, my screen goes black. :S *EDIT* I hit CTRL+ALT+DELETE and it printed to screen and went through standard reboot. Odd...
  9. From what I can tell this might be a really common problem. I was sick of fooling around in Vista, so I downloaded the DVD ISO and burned it to disk at the slowest speed I could (2X takes forever ><) and it installed like a charm. I was super happy and rebooted. New bootloader looks awesome. Then my screen flashes and then is black... suffice to say it's a bit annoying, as this is my main PC. Hopefully I can just change a setting or two somewhere and it will fix it. Here are my specs: AMD Sempron 2400+ (currently overclocked up to 2800+) ATi Radeon 9200 AGP 1 GB PC3200 If you need the rest I can post but I doubt anything else would cause any trouble. Thanks in advance!
  10. We are pretty sure that it's not compatible. It's a Linksys 2.4GHz Wireless router, and his pc has something similar to a wireless bridge hooked up to it, which is connected by a ethernet cable to the Linksys Fast Connect Ethernet Card.
  11. Well I just found out that my best friend's router won't work with Linux and both him and I are really mad. He wants to know how to reinstall Windows 98SE on his pc, which he will then upgrade to XP Home. I know this probably isn't the right place for this but I was unsure where it would go.
  12. Haven't you ever used a Debian based distro before? apt is the way, but I don't think this is a suitable thread to explain how apt works... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Before today I had only used Mandriva. :P Mandriva wouldn't load on this pc due to it's current RAM size, so I am using DSL. I will try using that and post what my results are in a few minutes.
  13. Ok I have a new problem. How in the world do I install DSL packages? lol
  14. It fixed it!!!! Now I can sleep. I wonder if GAIM will run on it? I had to reinstall DSL cus I crashed it (low memory is a huge problem).
  15. Well I tried unplugging the mouse and it still won't boot. It hangs up in the same spot. I could try taking out the old ISA sound card. Maybe that would fix it... *EDIT* Sorry for not being specific about what DSL was. ><
