I recently bought the "Linux Bible," which includes an FC4 complete distro
DVD, and 2 CDs. My main goal is to create a DAW, that will AT LEAST run
Rosegarden and Ardour without a lot of gotchas.
I tried to just do a standard install, to a machine (900mhz Duron, 256MB
ram, on an Asus MB) on which I'd just successfully installed both Suse 10 and
Mandriva 2006 (from a magazine). I only got as far as Anaconda trying to
start, then it went to a pure "White screen of death," from which I couldn't
escape without reboot...Then I tried to do a verbose install (been trying to get
free of Bill Gates for years, but no serious audio support).
Long story short: it ended in the same white monster. Then I tried it
"noprobe." Same deal. Then I tried the one that turns off the probe only during
the initial stages. Same deal. What oh what can I try next? Will some kind
soul give me some clues as to how to proceed. I even tested the integrity
of the medium...It is fine. There was only this error message, and only on
the verbose install: It said that there was probably some bug that was causing
it. So...I made a floppy disk of the whole message, and trying now to
figure out how to get it's info to the right folks. Is there some sort of patch
that I need? I've got s-l-o-w internet on this Grrrrrrr Gates-based machine,
so I could download some small things, and also have a friend with high-speed
and a CD burner if that's needed. I also wonder if there is a problem with
my old SB Live Platinum (though it works on Gatesville)...maybe Linux doesn't
like the card, though it IS listed in the compatability list for
linux...later will go to Delta 1010ls, but hope to at least work out the bugs, get the
CCRMA stuff installed, and the whole thing operating. Am I just dreamin'?
Sorry for the length here, tell me if there is anything else you need to
know.
Thanks,
Joe, WO0O
