Hi I'm just in the process of installing Debian 2.0 on a Compaq Deskpro EP series computer (Celeron 333MHz processor, Matrox MGA-G100 AGP graphics card, 64 MB Ram) and am running into trouble. I'm installing from the CD. Now when i boot the PC with the CD inserted, i get the boot prompt and press enter and linux loads. However roughly 50 percent of the time the PC hangs (or maybe the keyboard is unrecognised?) on the first screen of the installation program.
Despite this, i have managed to install Debian, but again, on about 50 percent of the boot ups, the system freezes at the login prompt. However the cursor is still blinking at this point, so maybe it's just that the keyboard not communicating? Any suggestions would be welcome!
