Comments/Problems: Well, everything goes well until X-Win [x-free?) wants to load,
then I get the error about video isn't right. Sorry I don't have the specific error here.
I've got Sis integrated graphics, which I pick from the install screen.
I don't know what I should put, I don't remember what it said during install,
something about the address of the video adapter. I've tried leaving it blank because
it says something about that setting is only needed for multiple cards...
I'm still searching for answers, but I'm new with Linux. LOTS of reading to do.
Thanks!
p.s. I DO get a command line. Wish I had a clue what to do with it! :)
