OK...so I spoke to soon when I said everything seemed alright, but I think I know what the problems are, just not sure how to fix them.
Everything installed ok (after 2 hours) but when it came to my first boot, I choose graphical booter instead of text. Now all I get is a flashing screen with what appears to be a mixed up image (almost looks like the matrix) and an occasional CLI mentioning localhost login. I assume this is the text login for the machine but I never get a chance to type any thing in there to prove it. I have tried Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Q and the enter key as suggested in the book to kill the process, but no luck. I would assume that this is all happening because I only have 2 MB of graphic memory and it is choking on the graphical login. Can't think of how to change it as I cannot even get into the machine yet. Any suggestions? Second problem is that I am not able to boot up with out the floppy. I made a bootdisk using LILO as the boot manager and I think it put the boot image on dev/hda2. If I recall my *NIX file architecture correctly hda0 would be my first partition (/), hda1 my second (/boot) and that hda2 is likely my floppy. Is this a correct assumption? Any ways to suggest fixing it? All help is welcome!
