Hi
there,
I am under distressed for my Linux
installation. Pls someone help!
After installing the
kernel by choosing packages selected for installation( in text mode) because it
indicated not enough memory for GUI installation(existing 128MB, expected
256MB). I then chose packages selected to:
standard one and software development, leaving out server pack not installed as
not intended for use.
The whole installation took
about 1hour 15 mins.
In text mode
installation, it detected and prompted whether to wipe out existing Linux
partition(Mandrake Linux 2006 distribution) let Fedora to make a new layout
by default. I answered "Yes" and ignored "Review and modify partitioning layout?(answer
"No").
However, the installation
didn't prompt for boot-loader choice at all, fortunately, the system can
reboot with a menu of choice to select Fedora or other as your
preferred boot-up
O.S. i.e. Windows XP Pro as 'other'.
However, system rebooted
gave a strange behavior I don't know how to deal with it is it always asked for
entering :
Localhost
login:
password:
If not provided, the
system always be hanging in there..
This wasn't anything
requested for my entries from installation but only usrname and password for the
/root partition.
Therefore, I tried many way
but couldn't have a clue in order to let the system bootup to normal
KDE mode.
Can you tell what have gone
wrong? Hope you to give me some advice to my email: claudeyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and
thanks.
For your info the system
Fedora Core 5 being used:
HP Pavilion Celeron 466MHz 128MB Dimm
sound hardware on board video graphic onbaord Hdd 40GB Netcard not yet ready for internet
