[newbie] Bootup errors
When i first installed linux.. I picked the wrong Video Card and monitor.. Then it tried to Probe my monitor and my computer froze. So i tried to restart the computer and then i got into Linux.. Not the X windows just the root thing where you type info like dos. Well so i thought i would switch into windows and ask this group. I did that and then now i can't get into Linux i just get a Bootup Error.. Now it won't let me try to re-install linux it just ignores the cd. . Any ideas ? Dennis Angell
