If you want to view the full logfile, switch to VT2 and give the command nano /var/log/syslog TIA, Frans Pop -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I looked at the language chooser date on the CD when it booted and it's 20050809, so I must have accidently burnt an old image. My apologies for the confusion. There still seems to be a problem on my machine with business card though. It doesn't boot. I get some kernel dump parameters. There are a lot of them, would you like all of them ? There is one line on the top, Welcome to Linux, kernel 2.6.12-1-powerpc. After that there is dump info. > If you want to view the full logfile, switch to VT2 and give the command >nano /var/log/syslog > > TIA, > Frans Pop -- David Creelman GPG: 11CC 0D54 D37A 4B9C 5C65 AB63 5B18 7F99 7D77 9CA5 Regards David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Would you still like me to do this on this older image? The other problems I have with the latest images (2005) are more about getting Linux to boot. > > TIA, > Frans Pop Regards David -- David Creelman GPG: 11CC 0D54 D37A 4B9C 5C65 AB63 5B18 7F99 7D77 9CA5 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
