I was so excited to see what looked like a totally clean installation!

 

Unfortunately, at the end of the install and after rebooting, it simply stays on a black screen with blinking cursor. No booting at all. :D

 

What can I do now?

 

 

System =

Dell Dimension 4400 P4 1.7

768MB DDR

80GB IDE HDD

DVD-RW IDE

SB Live (can remove for install... maybe I should have)

DFE530(?) network card

56k modem (I should remove that too.)

Geforce4MX video

 

Maybe I should use a different distro if I can find it? :(

You can try JaS 10.4.6! It worked for me on a dell 4550. If you try JaS 10.4.8, maybe you´ll won´t get into desktop because of the nvidia card....I had to delete the geforce/nvidia kext to boot properly
