A little more info (I sent this email to a friend before I contacted your group, but I haven't heard back from him; he might be away):
Having a few problems booting up the graphical interface for Gnome for Linux. I Inserted a PCUser CD Containing StarOffice 5.1, I click on the StarOffice icon in the menu and opened SETUP.ZIP, but nothing was useful so I closed it, than I ran SETUP.EXE which did nothing. Then I closed all open programs and halted the system with the gnome foot-print thingeeabobby. Then next morning I got up and booted into Linux (first thing, of course!). It ran the system check but some of the output was different (I think it was running a scandisk-like program which checked the 2nd partition. This is following output: /dev/hda2 was not cleanly unmounted check forced /dev/hda2: :=== Later it said: Inode i----blocks is 86 should be 80 FIXED etc and a bit later.. 0.5% non contiguous 1415231/2048001 blocks then it went really fast for a couple of lines, so I couldn't see, then went to: local host login then the screen goes blank ie black. After that nothing at all happens, and when I reboot, it goes through the same procedure... any idea would be greatly appreciated.... MTIA Luke > > PS.
