Re: Unable to boot



hi max. 

try at boot: debian video=ofonly 

you may have trouble with the woody netinst cd though. 
there is a known bug which breaks the install during 
installing base packages. it dies at 'unable to install adduser'

i dont know much more about the issue than that. but a quick 
should bring something up,
