Installation went great, but I just booted the system and tried to start Linux, and I'm stuck. It brings up lots of text and goes through checking status of things with green OK's, and then stops with just the curser blinking, and nothing else happens. How do I go into the Kernel (I think that's what it's called; I told you I was a newbie)? Do I need to login, and if so, isn't there supposed to be a login text that will show up? Any help you can give me would be great! :) Thanks, Mike Rochin Ketchikan Alaska mikerochin@xxxxxxxxx 907-225-7950 ------------------------------------ This is the Juneau-LUG mailing list.
