I was trying to help a friend install SuSE 8.2 Personal Edition on his machine. He's booting from CD 1. The installation splash screen appears and then the GRUB menu appears. Once we chose Installation (actually, it didn't matter what we chose), it said it was loading the linux kernel. Once it reached 100% on the progress bar, the screen went black and the lights on the monitor started to blink. This indicates that the monitor is not receiving a signal from the video card (which is an nVidia card though, offhand, I don't know which one). As a result, I was unable to help him get SuSE installed on his machine. Currently, he is running Windows 98 and, rather than upgrade Windows, he wants to move to Linux. Has anyone heard of a problem like this? If so, what can be done? Rick -- Rick Friedman rickfriedman@myfastmail.com Registered Linux user: #269579 Einstein: "God does not play dice."
