Quick question regarding Linux Livedvd-i686 installer. >> I downloaded a freeware livedvd from this site . . . http://isohunt.com/torrents/?ihq=livedvd-i686-installer-2007.0.iso.CONTENTS I burned the iso file to a dvd using magiciso successfully. When I tried to boot it on my computer, making sure my dvd player boots up before my hd, my computer goes to a black screen, then proceeds to just load windows. Could i get some help setting this up?
Do you realize that you've got a Gentoo iso? It isn't exactly a linux distro for newbies. If you haven't already read it at least twice, I very strongly suggest you read the following. And then read it again. It should answer probably 99% of any problems you'd encounter. Please read it thoroughly before coming back, it may make you reconsider installing it entirely. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2007.0/handbook-x86.xml?full=1#book_part1_chap2 I used to use Gentoo, but it is really only good for a hobby I found. If you want something with a similar level of control but with binary packages, take a look at Arch: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_Arch_Linux_Install_Guide
Hey, sorry. Don't worry about installation help. I ended up installing Ubuntu 7.10. It's awesome with one exception. I bought a crappy little x1300 graphics card without realizing there is no ubuntu 7.10 driver. I was wondering if you know how i can install it anyways. also, any possibility it would be beryl compatible? Right now I'm running Ubuntu using my onboard VGA. But I would really like Beryl running smooth.
Did you search Google at all? I'm seeing ~140k results for "x1300 ubuntu". The following link looks sort of relevant. You could also try searching the Ubuntu forums. I'm sure it has been asked thousands of times over there too. http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/63601-ati-driver-install-terminal.html
