Having troubles installing Blackpanther OS v11.1 (Darkness)
I currently have BP v10.1 on my Dell Latitude D630, and I would REALLY like to upgrade, but am having a whole bunch of issues. I downloaded from the website a USB installer that was built by the creators specifically for BP along with the v.11.1 ISO. I created the thumb drive with this ISO, but it is having problems installing to my computer...... Help please! This distribution is a derivative of "Mandriva"

Did you check your computers boot options in the bios to see if it is looking for a USB on boot?

I already did that, it says it is missing the boot/splash screen, so i figured it was the download, so i redownloaded it 3 times, and it was the same every time

The ISO is fine. It has everything needed to run it properly. And before you ask, yes, my computer can handle it.
