Hi
Im still trying to sort out these problems getting Linux installed on this old Umax laptop.
Ive tried booting Limux Mint 9 LXDE and it ran the live CD once and part installed. Since then no success in getting back to the Live desktop. It just sits on the boot screen doing nothing.
The same thing happens with Lubuntu.
I did successfully boot the Ubuntu alterntaive installer and it started installing no problems, but I cancelled it as Ubunut is a bit too heavy for this hardware.
I dont think it is a hardware fault as it runs XP no problems.
Also I did have Linux Mint 9 LXDE installed on another hard drive and it booted to it and ran, also it has booted to the live CD once and all hardware including sound works.
So any ideas?
Simon
