I have a real show stopper here

[eric oyen]

Hello everyone.

I have a real show stopper here. I can't seem to get orca to start up from the installer dvd. I tried control-s right at boot and nothing. the documentation doesn't seem to suggest any other way to do this.

is there another way?

I really would like to have an operational linux machine here.

I have tried Vinux, but there isn't a lot of available software other than a few paltry apps and the gnome desktop.

I need this working.

HELP!
