They are on 11 now, and 12 is on the way soon. Also, can you describe the command line you are getting? Is it a standard bash prompt? (yourusername)@(yourcomputername)$ (standard user prompt) or (yourusername)@(yourcomputername)# (a root level prompt) or are you getting a prompt like this: grub> (the grub boot prompt, if you get this there is a hang up in the boot process or the installer) This info will help us narrow down what might be happening. Are you booting a live CD version or the installer only version? Can you use shift+up-arrow or shift+page-up to scroll the screen up, to see any error messages? It is possible your configuration isn't supported for X video mode with the default settings. I would suggest if possible to try the recent live CD of Mint 11, or possibly a recent version of Knoppix, just to see if it can boot and bring up X11. ---------- Matt M.
