ok, i am not a compleat linux N00b but i am having major issues, i have installed yoper and its goes 100% perfect, the instalation the partitionaing every thing is ok! once install it boots fine, the shortly after the login screen comes up it restarts! some times there is enough time to log in....but again it reboot shortly after?! i canrt find any one with similar issues any where!?


my box is:

2.6 celeron
512 ram
ati 9200 se

you may have a problem with your hardware, and may want to check in bios (press del during first boot screen for most desktop systems). there may be a setting: reboot on errors, or halt on error, or some similar setting. disable that option.

i would also suggest perhaps trying suse or mandrake, as both are quite user friendly for newbies (they were the first distros i used in the beginning).

yoper is a fairly young distro, so may have a few "growing pains."

well that isn't exactly 100% true, i used RH in the late 90's experimentally, but there weren't enough apps to switch our business over then. when we finally switched to linux completely, we did it with suse.
