It sounds like its trying to mount folder taht arent there but thing is i dont understand why those directories arent on the cd. I ran cfdisk and create a linux boot partition
I would assume a setup cd would create it's own directories, the website claims it should just shoot straight to the setup then you can install from there
if you are a first time linux user i suggest using ubuntu or pclinuxos. ther are perfect for newbies. i am a newbie also. but i guess you wanna try it because it is brazilian.
Ok well im not sure why but after i downloaded teh XGL expermental *.iso and burned it, its started up fine, wierd. Oh well, awesome distro it can actually run off the cd.
