demonseth17 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I think the question is more "what" to install, not "how" to install.You could have a look at the wiki for suggestions, or just browse the "Add software" gui for a category that interests you. You don't say whether this is your first time checking out what linux software is available or not, but I was amazed the first time I saw just how much was available! There's no single answer to "what should I install" though, it depends too much on what you want to do with your new system. Play videos, write documents, develop software, run a server, perform complex maths, tinkle around on the internet, .... and so on. well I thought about that but I was thinking about the java thing and that it might help more info... :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdar Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Well, I probably will keep videos driver like it it. But when I try to do what you tell me, John.

AussieJohn Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) Hello Kdar. Are you putting a space between the t and the 3 ??. If you are and it is still not bringing up the text then I have no further suggestions to offer. Maybe some other member has an idea. Cheers. John.

{BBI}Nexus{BBI} Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) After doing init 3 you should see some text appear, your prompt will fail to re-appear, simply hit your enter key.

AussieJohn Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 That is very handy to know Nexus. Never had the problem so I didn't learn that trick. Cheers. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
