problem or not patient enough?
« on: September 30, 2011, 03:36:40 PM »
i have an old compter originally had windows98. i have installed several flavers of linux. ubuntu, vector, damn small linux, lubuntu and several others. i would like to try tinycore but when i put the cd in i get the bootup screen press enter and the screen flicers and nothing happens.

from the multicore cd i have tried every option shown but it is the same thing, i haved walked away from this for a few hours but it just shows the startup screen.

would like to do a frugal install, any suggestions

thanks

Boot with the debug option to see the messages.

Hi gdb
debug  is a kernel boot code, not a Tinycore boot code, you won't find it under F1,F2, or F3.
