Well, I kicked out WindowsME from my little laptop and tried installing LM 8.0.
Shockingly, the install worked the first time with proper display. I created my two accounts (root and user) I set up my audio properly and got the introduction music play smoothly. This is the first Linux distro that actually got pass the login window and properly displayed my desktop. The cons.......well I forgot from reading early post in regards to laptop installation. The touchpad didn't work even in installation mode which doesn't or didn't surprise me. I had a Logictech Tracker Ball which I tried using through the PS2 but crashed. Eventually, with trying to install a mouse Linux locked up. I had no keyboard control and had to do a hard reboot. After three hours I gave up pretty much and tried using Linux through keyboard controls only. I don't quite know or remember all the keystroke commands, but I did my best. It lacks without the touch pad or mouse. My question, yes I actually have a question, how difficult is it to get the touchpad to work? Last post I read in regards to that was with LM 7.2 when it was brand new. Thanks in advance.
