Sorry for the title lol those of u though it was it was offensive anyway. As you cantell im new to linux and i just d/l the 3 iso on a 56k line and it took forever. Ok i got the frist iso burned and ready to go and i wanted to see what the intallation would look like. I put in and it loaded i hit enter for a fresh install. But the screen stays black, so i went back and ran the lowres still no go and the same with the noprobe option any ideas? I know my moniter is getting a signal should i switch vid cards?

What distro did you DL?
Try switching cards out, but you might have got bad ISO's <the horror>
If you want I can mail you a set or you can go to cheapbytes.com. Back in my 56k days, I spent a week trying to get a good copy, then my friend's dad told me about cheapbytes, they're pretty cool.
