Hello, I just installed Core 1, and got it working. The first thing I did was login as root and run the update program (I think up2date) off of the start-menu-type GUI drop down list. I had it install all updates, including the kernel updates which were not checked by default. Everything seemed to download and install fine. When it was done, I rebooted my computer. In GRUB, there were now two kernel listings, one for the original, and one for the new one. I selected the new one. It seemed to load okay, but when it got to the login prompt, all words were gone. That is, everything that should appear on the screen with a font, were not shown. I tried booting the old kernel - same thing. I tried typing in a login then pass, nothing but a beep. Does anybody know what I can do? Thanks, OcelotIguana OcelotIguana@xxxxxxxxx __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
