Hi Arun, The 10.2 is quite stable, your friends are right. There is one bug for Core2Duo and Intel 965, but it seems to be unrelated: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=268120 Besides graphic card as Masaru mentioned it can be inappropriate graphic resolution for the monitor. Symptoms are usually the same as when graphic card has a problem, black screen and monitor power on signal (here green light) goes out, start blinking, or change color (here orange). This means there is no usable signal for monitor. Have you tried to lower graphic resolution or text mode installation? If not try to select lower video mode or Text on initial boot screen. In the text mode navigation is using TAB and cursor keys, or Alt and highlated letter in the word. For instance if you want to go Next, letter N is yellow and Alt-n would be the same as highlight whole word and press enter. Although I'm not good typer this works better than mouse. If this doesn't work than use TAB to switch to that window and then it will work. BTW, if all attempts to fix installation fail you can use 32 bit version, it will complain about installing it on 64 bit computer, but it will install it and work. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
