Hello,
I have recently taken an interest in installing linux and have chosen to
install debian 3.0 on my machine. However, I am unable to proceed very
far into the installation because after I receive the 'Welcom to Debian
screen and press enter at the boot prompt my monitor begins to flash and
it becomes very difficult to see the 'select language screen'. I can
tell that it has proceeded to this screen because I can see the blue
background and choices to select a language however it flashes in such a
way that installation would be extremely difficult. Here are the specs
on the machine:
Compaq Deskpro EN with Minitower
PIII 933 Mhz
384MB RAM
20GB HD
48X CD-ROM
Integrated Intel 3D Direct AGP Video
Integrated Intel Audio
Compaq V75 monitor
The procedure I am following is to enter the Debian CD that I have
created from linuxiso.org, re-boot the machine, I see the Welcome
screen, press enter to install the deafult flavor. This is when the
monitor begins to flash. I see some text output and the picture of the
penguin at this time as well and already at this point the monitor is
flashing. It then procedes to the select language screen and the
monitor continues to flash.
On the welcome screen should be instructions for more help (press F1,
maybe?). Look for any options to disable FrameBuffer, or to use a
certain VGA setting.
Not having looked in this area in some time, I'm not sure what you'll
find, but I'm thinking that there _should_ be an option to tinker with
the video settings at the boot: prompt.
