Put the CD in and reboot (you might have to configure your PC to boot from CD, but it sounds like you've already got that working.) Anyway, let us know how far that gets you. I don't really see anything unusual about your setup. However, you do seem to get stuck at points that might be doing something on the network and you didn't provide the network hardware information (which might be hard to find, too). The cool thing about the Live CD is that if it works, you're good to go, and if it doesn't, no harm done. Also, if it locks up at the login again, try pressing "Ctrl-Alt-F2", this will put you at the command line. If the computer responds, then you haven't really locked up and we can give you some things to try. Also, "Alt-F7" gets you back to the GUI. - -Randy Kendall Brown wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Hey Guys: I've been reading a lot about Linux and all of the different forms it comes in but I'm very frustrated about not being able to install it on the only computer I have. I've tried every variation of the operating system I could find but none have gotten past the install process. I basically gave up for the past two months on ever getting to see what this OS could really do until I read an article in the paper, saying the Dell was about to offer Linux on it's computers very soon. I don't own a Dell but if a big company like that is starting to get on board with Linux then maybe developers of it will start making copies with a larger selection of drivers for a broader range of computers. That brings me to my request. Is there any way I can get a copy of Ebuntu Linux that has been tested and shown to work on my computer configuration? Gigabyte K8NSNXP Socket 754 320GB, IDE 120GB, ATA XFX GeForce 6600GT Ultra 2GB Dimm RAM Sempron +3400 X-Fi Creative Sound Card 2 DVD ROM 1 CD Burner That's about everything I have inside of the box. I have an Epson CX5000 printer and a LG plug & play monitor. I've already tried installing Ebuntu after removing the sound card with no success. The install process usually hangs on the install process when it gets to the firewall setup, with Fedora but Ebuntu actually let me get to the login prompt before it locks up. My motherboard has two built-in LANs and I'm curious if that may be causing the problem. Is there a way I can get a copy of Ebuntu with all the available drivers I need to get this working?
