Good day, all.
I installed StormLinux 2000 on an extra PC of mine just to check it out and I was
impressed by the easy of installation (I am a newbie to Linux and have heard HORROR
stories regarding the installation process); however, when it was finished installing
I notice a couple of things that were disquieting:
(1) When asked to "press [my] computer's reset button", I halted. My computer
doesn't *have* a reset button. Is there a CTRL-ALT-DEL combo that works and performs
the reboot function in Linux (obviously, it the MS 3-finger salute didn't work here)?
I finally had to unplug it and plug it back in to "restart".
(2) Perhaps as a consequence, when the sys was finally rebooted, all of the icons on
the desktop appeared to be icon masks. They were blocky and monochrome, though
sometimes showed a reverse-color image of those screen items over which I dragged the
"pointer". Furthermore, any text (menu text, button text, or otherwise) appeared, in
the same vein, to be unreadable black blocks which conformed to the size of the text
itself.
I'm sure it must have been something I've done and if this has happened to me first
time out, I'm wagering that it has happened to others. I'm just hoping that someone
else who had the same problem and has solicited and receive help through this forum.
If it was caused by my hardcore restart method, then I can do nothing else until I
hear from someone regard a soft-restart key-combo or some other fix.
Thanks a lot, everyone
