tried installing tc-2.0, but it either hangs at boot or quits right before getting to X setup
everything else seems normal, no error messages and apps are restored, etc
I did get to console using superuser code, but after rebooting after installing it would get stuck too...?
it has integrated neomagic graphics and lcd screen I think
any ideas?
thanks

Try using loglevel=10 at boot instead of quiet to get detailed boot results. Maybe you will see some errors.

thanks alot!
I am thinking about using dsl-n to install tc
problem with lappy is it has no cdrom, and can't boot from usb so
I use plop bootmanager to boot a usb
dsl-n gets to X easy, whereas dsl and feather and tc get stuck.
so, I could use dsl-n to install tc and install grub.
also, maybe I should try 1.4.3 rather than 2.0?
whjat do you think?

Many old laptops require framebuffer, Xfbdev extension (see faq).
My old thinkpad had neomagic and worked with Xfbdev 800x600.

now, seems Grub is now dying on me at boot, as it won't boot anymore
just keeps acting like it s loading but never does....
hmmmm I'l get it working somehow... ;D
