I know I am odd man out because my hand has been held for so long ...
I am an old school Mac user (system 7 thank you very much) but the whole OSX thing got me onto the Linux tip... so I got an (very) old pc to mess around with. I get the DSL iso burned it even boots from the disk but after all the hardware is recognized and all the lovely linux goodie pop up the screen goes kinda grey and nothing happens....

the machine:
333 cyrix (ooohhh yeah I remember those)
160MB RAM
4MB ati "rage"
2GB hd

anyone know it this is a hardware problem or an intance of interfence btween keyboard and chair?

Try typing at the boot: prompt -
