Hello Members, Starting off with my first question: What makes the difference in hardware detection between CentOS and SuSe installations? I can install the Sun Microsystems JDS (Java Desktop System), which actually installs Suse Linux without a problem. When I try CentOS, I get a blank screen. I discovered that if I enter "Linux nofb", I can get by the "/sbin/loader" point of the install. The install still hangs when starting X-Windows. Next I will try a "Linux nofb text" installation. I also tried "resolution=1024x768". (note, Knoppix 3.7, did not properly detect the hardware and hangs during installation) Also, can I some how use the SuSe installed information to install CentOS? TIA, David Evennou
