Well, I got recruited to the Linux world by a friend but I’ve always wanted to try it, so I did and I downloaded the Live CD of openSUSE: KDE. I just wanted to mess around with the desktop in the boot screen before installing and well, it doesn’t work.
I select openSUSE 11.0 and it goes through to the bar loading screen, then hops over to a wall of text which I’m guessing is checking to see if everything is compatible seeing as how on the right side of the screen there are a bunch of ‘done’ text in green. It then stops and works hard on the (sorry i cant exactly remember what it is) hardDX i know there is a X at the end, I’ll go back and do it again to update. But then after doing that it stops loading and goes to a black dos screen with nothing on it but:
(none)
and it wont accept any key pressings of any kind. It just sits there. I left it to sit for about 20 minutes and it doesn’t move.
For clarification it doesn’t even get to Yast at all.
I also tried Mandriva and it did the same thing only instead of (none) it was just an underscore.
If anyone could help me out with this, it would be great. Also i downloaded MD5 and have no idea what I’m supposed to do with it. So any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
