Can't get MePis to INSTALL
Hi all
I seriously dunno what im doin wrong. I just can't seem to get MepIS installed. I badly due to the positive stuff i hear abt it and the minimal fuss free configuration. I sure don't want to learn like crazy just to use an OS.
Anyways, i am able to boot the CD(although have experienced some weird issue where just after the screen says loading grub stage 2, the system reboots), picked 2.6 kernel and i tot im off to a new life as a free linux dude. The screen shows Mounting File system....done. Then, it just hangs there for a looooOOooOoong time b4 it shows this error:
awk: fatal error: internal error
IOT trap
Total RaM: kB
I don't have any trouble running Ubuntu & i dun tink its the memory since i found no errors using memtest(although i quit after waiting for eternity for the tests to complete). I have no idea what causes this and this problem seems unique to my set up. Perhaps its the CD, i dunno, will seriously appreciate assistance of any helpful geeks our there.
Thanks in advance.
P.S: In ubuntu, i dunno y in my synaptic, i can't find KDE Desktop Manager to install. Typing the commands thru terminal doesn't seem to help either. Any ideas? How do we get Ubuntu to look like windows; i mean the fonts seems to big and u can hardly manage with such limited desktop space.
