HELP - HP dv6145eu Notebook - Ubuntu 7.10
Hi Guys
I really hope someone can help me out. I have formatted my laptop and trying to install Ubuntu 7.10. Brings up the selection screen, and i say start ubuntu or install (first option). Goes through it's loading of stuff. The "checklist" so to say with the [OK] on the right. Then to a blank black screen that has now been up for about 20min.
Frozen? Or is there something going on that i don't know about?
Thanx in advance

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image. (Stephen Hawking)
hmmm... takes long. how long is "long" ?? and i've tried it in VGA and in 800 x 600. Takes ages on the black screen. hour maybe? is that possible?
Will it work if i reinstall windows, do onto the CD and I saw that the disc has a install for windows function. What would be the best? I am very new to linux installations. Have used linux a couple of time, but already installed. Sorry for the Noob questions, but i really want to move to linux systems.

Deng! you turn 'em les'... you FTL. Unless you can get them both on a tipsy ladies nite.
how big is the hard drive? maybe try a dual boot first? Boot options?
i've had problems in the past installing SuSe and it gave that same hanging blank screen but it took after a couple of times
Give up! It's Friday!

i know that they are different distro's, just wanted to get a general feel so to say of what is better rated. But by the looks of it my laptop doesn't want to know Ubuntu's trouble. so on to Suse i go. . Yeah, i always wanted to be a slave.
Do you give me chains and stuff, or do i make them myself then lock myself up??

I read a couple reviews lately comparing Ubuntu 7.10 and openSUSE 10.3 and most favour Ubuntu. I have both and I agree. Ubuntu is now also officially the most popular desktop distro.PFS wrote:i know that they are different distro's, just wanted to get a general feel so to say of what is better rated.
