User Feedback :: couldn't boot DSL linux..
fails both way. btw the machine is a lowly IBM.
I also fail to boot on a toshiba satellite with a 400 megahertz celeron and 64 mb - it gave up the ghost after the following line appeared twice:
xauth: creating new authority file /home/dsl/.Xauthority
After I tried the
vga=normal mem=64M
thingy I got a little further - all the way to the DSL X Setup which I answered with NO. Again, the xauth lines come up and it does not appear to want to go any further.
EDIT - I tried the expert mode and answered mostly yes to all the questions. Again it got stuck at the xauth... but with a further message at the end:
giving up.
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such projcess (errno 3): Server error
Hmmm, does that make any sense? - EDIT
And yes, I am a newbie who runs Suse 9.2 on the desktop and who can click a lot:blues:
Any clues out there from the gurus?
right, managed it.
at boot press f2 for options and input (as it says...) fp"with your resolution"
my next screen asks me whether I want Xvesa or Xfbdev xserver. The former results in the customary freeze but the latter works a treat!!!
just go through the rest of the screens and if you get a lock-up try a different option next time.
DSL is wicked!!!
