I am very much a Linux newbie (Win/NT guy, and Mac guy from way back), and am having the time of my life, but ... I have some high-paid consultants coming to my office tomorrow, and I was supposed to have SuSE ready to go - I didn't think it was gonna be this much of a problem, or I'd have started on it yesterday... Anyway, Redhat 7.0 installs fine (I've installed it 3 times now), so I know it's not the hardware. Here's what it does, every time: It boots, then YaST2 initializes, checks the system, prompts me for My language/country, then throws up a black screen with the words at the very top 'Looking for a Braille display".... Then gives me the generic "An error occurred during installation" Help! -------------- Charles Marcus I.T. Director Media Brokers International CharlesM@Media-Brokers.com
