<DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#800000><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi
there,</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#800000></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#800000>I am under distressed for my Linux
installation. Pls someone help!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#800000></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#800000><FONT face=Arial size=2>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). </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>I then chose packages selected to:
standard one and software development, leaving out server pack not installed as
not intended for use.</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#800000 size=2><STRONG></STRONG></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#800000 size=2><STRONG>The whole installation took
about 1hour 15 mins.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#800000 size=2><STRONG>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</STRONG></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#800000
size=2><STRONG> ignored "Review and modify partitioning layout?(answer
"No").</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#800000 size=2><STRONG>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
</STRONG></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#800000 size=2><STRONG>preferred boot-up
O.S. i.e. Windows XP Pro as 'other'.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#800000 size=2><STRONG></STRONG></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#800000 size=2><STRONG>However, system rebooted
gave a strange behavior I don't know how to deal with it is it always asked for
entering :</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#800000 size=2><STRONG></STRONG></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#800000 size=2><STRONG>Localhost
login:</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#800000
size=2><STRONG>password:</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#800000 size=2><STRONG></STRONG></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#800000 size=2>If not provided, the
system always be hanging in there..</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#800000 size=2><STRONG></STRONG></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial color=#800000 size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#800000 size=2><STRONG>This wasn't anything
requested for my entries from installation but only usrname and password for the
/root partition.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#800000 size=2><STRONG>Therefore, I tried many way
but couldn't have a clue in order to let the system bootup to normal
KDE mode. </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#800000 size=2><STRONG>Can you tell what have gone
wrong? Hope you to give me some advice to my email: <A
