by I just bought Linux-Mandrake 7.2 and am having trouble setting it up. Just
when I think its going to finish booting up the screen goes on
stand-by(black) and I can't see a thing.(although there is continued disk
access)
Is there an item in my system that is known to have compatibility issues
with Linux?
I know the modem might not work but I use it in windows. I am really wanting
to try Linux out after seeing the sceern shot demos of it at
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ . It looks like it might be a nice change
from Windows and the app. bundle that came with it sounds great if I could
only get it working.
If I cannot get it working in this configuration is there a way to uninstall
"lin4win"?
And if this is the case I am quite determined to not let this OS beat me so
I am willing to put together another (affordable) system to run it(for the
learning experience), any tales of tried and true combo's would be
appreciated.
I get the feeling the problem lies with my All In Wonder 128Pro card.
My current specs are:
Asus A7Pro
Duron 800 (not o.c.)
24" Full tower c/w 300w P.S.
256mb PC133 Micron Ram set to CLK 3
ATI All In Wonder Pro 128 32 MB(AGP)
SBLive Value
ESS Win Modem56k
Realtec 10/100 ethernet card
LG Burner 8x4x32x
LG DVD 12x40x
TIA
