Hi,
After some good advice whilst on IRC (albeit cut short cos my windows machine wouldn't stay up long enough to keep me logged in!), I've decided to try to install the latest version of Debian "testing" on my new HP laptop. Given I'd prefer a KDE desktop, I've downloaded this CD image:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i...
Which I think should let me install what I want.
Problem is, after installing most of the packages, the text-only installer messes up. The readable screen is replaced by funny coloured blocks - I can see it's asking me a question and can tab around the boxes on screen, but there's no way I can read any of it, as all the characters have been replaced by blocks.
Soo ... I assume it's not playing nicely with my graphics card? or something?
Any suggestions, on how I can get through the install?
TIA,
Peter.
