Hi Harry, welcome to Slug. [EMAIL PROTECTED] harry] $_ This means you logged on.
but no matter what I > enter now it goes back to login This should not happen unless you press CTRL-D or type in exit and press enter. It's sounding like you're starting up rescue mode or something? It's a bit difficult to assist you with this from here. You will need to tell us a bit more about what you selected to install and what messages it gave you along the way. Perhaps you could come along to the upcoming installfest where we can all get a squiz at your problem and also install Linux for you! Alternatively the SLUG meets last Friday of the month at the University of Technology. Come along and discuss there if you wish.
