Can you give more information on where the system locks up. What screen are you on? Any error messages? The last couple lines on terminals 2,3 and 4 (you can access them by pressing alt-f2, alt-f3 or alt-f4). Are you booting off the cd or using boot disks? What motherboard are you using? Have you tried the alternate install?
I had a system that reported constant keyboard errors when the kernal booted. I had to update the bios to get it working. You might have something similar or it might be a problem with one of the add-on boards.

Hell everyone. I joined a few months ago, but have not really posted or asked much, just sat back and watched for a bit.
I am trying to install Linux on a desktop system, but I keep running into problems. I downloaded the ISO files for Mandrake 7.2, Red Hat 7.0, and Corel Linux 2.0, I aslo own a copy of Mandrake WinLinux 7.1. Out of the four I have had limited success. Each time I try to install Mandrake 7.2, it locks up and stops installing, as does Red Hat. I've had the best luck so far with Corel Linux, however I did start having a probem with it not going to the graphical login screen after a few days.
Could someone suggest a Linux "flavor" to start out with and where I can download a copy of it. I have a CD Burner on another system. I am connected to Road Runner and would like to download it from somewhere that I can get a good connection, and does not take me 5-6 hour to download.
System Specs:
AMD K6-2 333mhz
32 megs ram
4.0 gig HD & 14.0 gig HD
SiS 620 Video Card (8 megs Ram)
ESS Sound Card
Also when is the next meeting?
Thanks in advance.
