What I have: Packard Bell I-Media, or E-Media, or whatever they called themselves back then...
PIII-700 Slot CPU 128 MB SD Ram 15GB IDE 24* IDE CD Rom (cause the DVD Rom blew up) VooDoo 3-2000, 3dfx, 8 meg Video Card 15" Philips Monitor (105S) Creative 128 AudioPCI (Soundblaster legacy) RTL8139 PCI Network Card Standard arrangement of PS2 mouse, keyboard, and all that. Nothing USB attached What I need: I wanna introduce my wife to the awe and wonder of SuSE Whats going wrong with this theory: I plug in the first CD, get as far as the "Many versions of Welcome" screen, and the entire process stops. No errors, no beeps, the CD Rom goes idle (stops working), but no Install Menu... I would have thought that the internals of Merlin would have been pretty straight forward, but having spoken to Volker about it, I'm now suspecting that there might be a hardware conflict of some description. Weird as that may sound. Any thoughts? I have no problem with researching a cure for this, but heck, it's not offering me a lot to work with... Andy George
