Tks Jerry. Re 3COM - as I have a Live DVD only, what I propose to do, to save having to install on the Tos A10 with the original HDD, I am going to temporarily change the HDD for a small one ( 20GB) and run that as a tester. . Will report back. No USB Bios boot priority option on the A10 Sad

Congrats to everyone involved! LL3 is another fine release.

One issue that I did run into was during installation. I left my laptop for a short time and when I came back the screen had gone black (screensaver?). After touching a key I was presented with the login screen. I didn't know the default live system credentials so I waited a bit until I was sure the installation was complete. Is there any way to disable to screensaver logout during installation?

If it helps (for future users) I believe the username is Linux... password is blank.. I too came across this - its also listed in upper left most corner of the login screen (pc name Tongue

)..

I tried that but I think I used a lowercase L since most distros don't capitalize the usernames. I could have figured it out if I dropped to tty but this seemed like it might be an issue for new users to Linux in general.

found something strange. I created a new file, pasted the text into it and saved it. But then i saw that the icon had changed into an envelope. When i looked at the properties it says its a mailbox file. When i add .txt behind the name the icon changes to a normal txt file icon

Monkeyman,

My laptop doesn't have a physical number pad either, but it does have a virtual number pad. By that I mean, some of the lettered keys become a number pad if I hold down the Fn key, like what's seen here. In my example, keys for J, K, L, U, I, O, and P can also be keys for numbers when using the Fn key in the bottom left. If you have something like this as well, when you try to enter letters that share a key with a number, that could affect the input of your password.

I think my first post above was a bit mealy-mouthed.
I was able to install LL 3.0 as a fresh install very rapidly and it worked out of the box.
Some previous problems with Broadband drivers and language support seem to have been ironed out and the only minor niggle is that I chose 'automatic login' but the password is still required.

I was able to add software including Slimjet and Google Earth as noted above, but this was greatly eased by the intelligent selection in Lite Software which together with that which is provided as basic gives the best offer of any distro.

I sorted my FF problem and I have a fully functioning crisp new system very quickly achieved
Thanks to the team again

But in LL 3.0 it's missing & the right click option to minimise from the panel button is greyed out.

This may have been a change in Xfce 4.12 which LL3 is now using. I believe you can hide the window by clicking on the folder icon in the notification area. Not sure why they hid the minimize button in the transfer dialog though...seems odd.

Thanks Mike, that allows me to do what I want, I like to see the progress with the windows being open but minimised at different times.

I've seen your blank screen issue a couple of times, what I do now is when booted into the live media before starting the install process I go into the Power Manager settings, Security tab & change Automatically lock the session to Never.
It holds that setting until a shutdown/reboot etc. & the screen stays on if left unattended for a while.

Reinstalled LL and then after setting Dutch as default language i didnt change the folder names, kept the old names. Now i dont have duplictate folders, no problem that they are in English.
