Using the linux expert noauto command at the prompt I'm at about 66% through file copying, which is further than I've ever gotten into the installation. I'm sure now that I've said something about it it'll crap out on me though. If so, I'll give 8.x a try, thanks. With a low ram setup all

[newbie] Odd printer action?

This is really odd - my HP DeskJet 694C has always worked. Well, its usually not auto-detected during installation but I've always managed to set it up between CUPS and XPP. Anyways, now whenever I boot up, just at the end of the boot up messages, the green light on the printer flashes once,

This seems silly to me, but I happen to have a Pioneer DVD-115 and a Yamaha 8/8/16. Again, it seems like you're missing this. Supermount worked perfectly on this exact hardware with 8.2. As soon as 9.0 was installed, certain CDs could not be read by supermount. Lots of testing showed this

This probably won't help, but check in the laptop's BIOS and make sure that Plug Pray OS is turned off (if applicable). It sounds like it's having difficulty detecting your hardware. Turning this off should help. On Friday 11 October 2002 02:07 pm, Jason Drushel wrote: Hi guys, new to the

You were right the first time, it didn't help. :-p I downloaded 8.2 and went to install it, but half of the installation menu came up (yes, half) before giving me a boot failed message. May be the blanks I'm using, because the CD reads fine in my desktop systems. But still no luck for me in
