i tried root and it didn't work, i tried many things and none worked...
so i don't know what else to try...
it didn't give me the option to choose a login or password when i was installing it...

Of course, It did!

I'm happy that you're succeded on DVD trick, but reinstall is in order. And while installing watch for prompts.
Gambatte Kudasai (Japanese), All the best!

thanks alot bud :-)
i'm posting from suse...
everything went fine...
only thing is that some of the screen is a little cut off...
how can i fix that?

Run Yast
Choose Hardware=>Graphic Card and Monitor
Recalibrate your card for your liking
And I'm glad that you've succeded

ok got that but no sound...lol
but am getting it one at a time...
thanks alot for your help again :-)

Follow the same pattern and recalibrate sound devices.
If negative afterwards, then open KDE Control Centre=>Sound and multimedia
Try selecting different sound systems starting from autodetect and finishing with ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture)

that's strange my sound card is in the hardware list but can't hear no sound...

Yast=>Hardware=>Sound
Select Volume
Master bar - 100
PCM bar - 100
Press Test
Still no Sound??
Man, you're screwed

Just kidding
Continue:

Still nothing?
Open Kmix and see if sound in not Muted
Still no?
then in KDE Control Centre select sound and multimedia and choose ALSA (advenced linux sound architecture)
open console
$su -
$alsamixer
Configure bars with arrows, enable or disable service with "m" key.
When done ESC
#alsactl store

If you have 5.1 speaker system, be sure that LFE channels bars are all way down and [off]. LFE channel is to generate 5.1 emulation matrix on 4 speaker systems.


P.S. KEEP IN MIND THAT SOUND SYSTEM WON'T WORK AFTER THAT PROCEDURE. REBOOT NEEDED!
