Hi all. I'm trying to run the live cd on top of an ancient w98se platform (old bits 'n pieces), and I'm not being that successful.
At first, it was booting fine until it got to the 'Scanning for HD partitions and creating /etc/fstab..' msg, and then it would hang. So, having no real idea of what fstab is, I chucked the 'nofstab' cheat at the start, and got the boot process to go a bit further.
Now I get as far as a 'Starting some sort of window' msg, and then my monitor image turns to cheese, and its standby lights come on. The cd is still running at this point, but stops after a few minutes.
The boot script says that it's picked up my graphics card (a 3dfx voodoo banshee) and now I'm clueless as to what to try next. Any ideas out there?
