hi all :) can anyone help newbie please :
(1) started with fdisk delete all on HD, then /mbr
but it still picked up bootloader from previous attempt.
how to wipe the HD totally clean first ?
(1) managed to get it installed, logged in, $startx,
jumped to xterm, then crashed :
"fatal server signal 11, failed to load fbdev" =3D ?
(2) instead of startx, what is command to start gnome ?
(3) at no time did i see any option for 32/64bit install ?
many thanks !=20
