Lycoris install HELP!

<< < (2/3) > >>

RudeCat7:
I pretty much gave up on Lycoris, and if it doesn't install easily, I can't recommend it as a newbie distro.

but, some of you may be glad to know, that I decided to install Redhat on that box, and that went well.

I want to use that box to really learn, and experiment with Linux! Now, I need to figure out how to get that burner working.    

edit:
Update: I downloaded the xcdroast RPMs and I RTFM! Hmmm... seems to be working. That wasn't so bad!

I'm downloading the ISO"s for their build 50 (which is the latest beta) right now from a very fat pipe at +/- 600 KB/sec :)
I've toyed around with Red Hat enough to decide I like it better than Mandrake but the differences with SuSE aren't big enough to justify my switching from SuSE to RH.
Gonna try out Lycoris and after tha ELX.
I'll let you know how the install went.

Ok, I had it up and running in 20 minutes.
Linux never ceases to amaze me, a whole OS installed, configured (NICs, printer, etc ...)up and running in 20 minutes!!!!!!!
From what I've seen so far (not much - agreed) it looks as Windows-like as Linux can be atm, plus all the cool extras that Linux delivers.
I didn't test much but audio and video work pretty good, Xine is installed by default (not in SuSE), it has a functionality to help you install software, update on-line, etc.
So far I would definitely recommend this to Windows users who want to try out Linux!
I'll give it a little more testing though.

RudeCat7:
Are you talking about Lycoris?

Hmmmm... I did a quick search, and haven't found any answers, but the Lycoris forum does have a question about the install hanging at the last screen. I hope to find the answer to this install problem...out of curiosity, and for the sake of SCIENCE!

Ice-9:
Yes Lycoris.
I installed the latest beta on a PII 400, it was done in about 25 minutes.
Maybe you should give it a try?
Which build did you try? 46?
I have the iso's from build 46 lying around somewhere, I could give them a try later, just to see what the differences are.
