<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Hell everyone. I joined a few months ago, but have not
really posted or asked much, just sat back and watched for a bit.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>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. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
