[opensuse] Help installing openSUSE 10.2
F2 was for the language settings. I went to Failsafe mode, which one of the boot commands identified as runlevel 3. logged in at prompt and used startx. A few lines of text came up and the screen attempted to load the gui, even saw a flicker of color, but otherwise stayed a black screen. No error messages...

On boot screen use Other Options (press F2) and enter 3 and press Enter to boot into runlevel 3, which is text mode with network. If computer gives you text mode login prompt enter user name, press Enter and than user password. When you see prompt type startx it will probably fail again, but it will leave some error message on the screen. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I tried the install without DSL plugged in, and left it unplugged during bootup, but it still shows a black screen after the grub menu. I gave it plenty of time and the busy light on my case stopped flashing, sooo... I'm not sure what else to do here.

I have an old Socket A 900MHz AMD Athlon Processor with 512MB ram, 40GB hard drive containing Windows XP Pro and 10GB hard drive to which I'm installing openSUSE 10.2 The only problem I have during setup is that it doesn't connect to the internet (I have dsl) while knoppix live cd recognizes the connect automatically. No other errors are reported and I'm able to choose windows or suse from the grub list, with windows working fine, but suse never reaches a gui? It shows text - done type lines and then goes to a black screen which never goes away? Any help would be much appreciated. I have had a similar problem with my old Dell. I use 10.0. Startup computer, make room for installation of Suse. Shutdown computer, and unplug ethernet cable to dsl-modem. Install Suse from cd's or dvd. Reboot to check if dual boot works. Plug ethernet cable back in; internet connection works also in Suse hope this helps. regards, Roeland -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
