Hi,
Yes, it's Debian based... At what stage of the boot process should
"ctrl-alt-F1" be applied? Did get to the cursor, and typed in
"apt-get"...
but it wouldn't recognise the command. Serious newbie stuff... :$
oops, I kinda assumed you already knew about apt-get. You will need to
be root to run that command. type 'su', then enter your root password,
then try it again. you might also like to read 'man apt-get'. if you
intend to use a debian based system you'll need to at some point :)
It's Ubuntu - use 'sudo' instead of 'su', otherwise the instructions
are fine.
