The Problem: getting the "edubuntu gutsygibbon" install to work.
What happens when I boot up is it takes a long while, then a maze of colorful noise comes on the screen for a minute or so, then the edubuntu logo appears amid noise, and the scroll bar (where the orange line is supposed to fill in from left to right) is there too but with no activity. Eventually all that mess disappears and the Debian Busybox dialogue appears on black screen suggesting I type "help" for a list of possible commands. I have also tried using the second option at boot-up, that shows the install going through all its steps, but then it stops and (apparently) wants me to type something to complete the process, but I do not know what to type in there. Should I assume the install is defective and try installing edubuntu all over again, or is there something I can do to fix this install and get it to continue to boot up effectively / normally as it appears almost ready to do. Also, I got this same set of circumstances when I had first completed the install but it eventually resolved itself and allowed me to log in. But then there was a prompt saying there were like 189 updates available, and did I want to download and install them. I opted YES, and that process of downloading and installing all those updates took quite awhile. Now that all the updates are installed, the edubuntu will not boot, as described above... it goes to the Debian Busybox dialogue instead. Thanks for your help - I will watch my email for your reply.
