[klug] Lunar Linux - source-based distro

[Dean]

Off topic here.

still can’t partition my notebook hdd to install linux and xp.

If I choose a full linux install, if things go wrong, can I reinstall xp?

I have a compaq which partitions off a part of the hdd for recovery use, I think.

Cheers

Dean

      Had a go at installing this distro. 
    
    Didn't get far. Screen goes to black after intial text-based options
    screen (Options F1 to F4 for Install, Modules, Safe and memtest86) 
    
    Defaults fail. 
    
    Explicitly choosing from the list of offered VESA modes fails.
    
    "scan" fails to find a valid video mode. 
    
    Went to the Lunar Linux web site. Attempted to log a report with their
    Bug Tracker. All attempts failed; "application error #1303" and "invalid
    field data'........ 
    
    So if you want to play with this distro - you've been WARNED. 
    
    :-)
