My hardware is sufficient: 8GB HDD, 320MB RAM. After I hit enter at the boot, it says: loading vmlinux................. loading initrd.img................ booting. Then it goes to the blank screen. Ctl-Alt-F? for all ? doesn't do anything. In fact, nothing does anything except Ctrl-Alt-Del. But if I push enough keys, the computer starts clicking. I have no idea what's going on. Cheers! -Andrew
