Thankyou for your help :-)
I've put an 128Mb GF Nvidia card into the AMD dual core machine and
the Live CD works just fine now. At the moment its installing
itself.
Unfortunately the other AMD machine is not going to be as easy as
changing the video card since everything is on board and I believe
the GPU is part of the CPU.
Either way thanks for producing your PCLinuxOS cd, its much
appreciated.

I hadn't
heard of "XFdrake" until Alistair mentioned it.
So yes how can you use a GUI tool if you can't run a GUI... ?

Hi,
I'm sorry to say that it is possible that newer kernel and/or Xorg
version might in some cases not deal very well with older hardware.
When you see the black screen, try the following:
Do Ctrl+Alt+F1
Login as root user
Type drakx11 OR drakxconf (not sure which one is the one to use)
Try different configurations, but it is easy to mess Xorg
settings... These small utilities are in TUI (text-mode user
interface); not 100% commandline, not 100 graphical Type reboot OR
you can try to start X rightaway by typing startx, but it might not
work without rebooting, because Xorg may still be running, but with
a black screen.
Thank you!
