<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hey Jack,<br>
if you are booting to a black screen then it is your graphics card
(most likely).<br>
This is a problem that will require you to research some things
but should likely be able to overcome.<br>
That said, it might be better to wait for a while before trying
this distro...<br>
Often in the weeks before the Alpha is released there are some
rather grievous issues on certain hardware (especially those
requiring external graphics modules)<br>
