well ok, then scratch the second idea then. And the IDE cables are definatly done properly. Master end is in the master drive and slave is in the slave drive. :(

Edit: this is fedora core 5 im trying to get to work First off, i am a complete and total *nix noob and this is my second time trying to install a linux distro on my system (1st time was mandrake few months ago but couldnt get it to work and got fed up). Here's the problem: Im running...

I see an off white screen with a black cursor which i believe is right when the gui is enabled and the real installation starts and then it does not allow me to move the cursor and does not progress at all. So, yes it becomes non responsive.

1.Where would i get these "generic" drivers for linux? 2. How do i insert them into the install program (the problem happens when loading up the gui in the install, i never get to loading the os.)? Edit: If this helps, knoppix works fine although without ethernet support.

Nope, cant get one. Im wondering if theirs some way i can insert the new ati nix drivers into the installation to make it work. Any ideas?

I really want to try out linux, i truly do. But everytime i try to install fedora or just about any other distro (mandrake, suSe) it freezes at one point. In the fedora install it goes through the early stuff fine but when the gui gets loaded (off white screen with black pointer)...

Perhaps it was a bad idea to post the word mac in the title..............

I have a regular pc dell crt monitor and the mac i came across (an apple performa) has a port that looks kinda like a crt, and with the same amount of pins, but its wider. Are there adapters for this and what type of port is this really?

I lost my audigy software cd so i can still install drivers, but i can only find a update file for surround mixer. I need that actual installation file. Any ideas?

ok, i see

Im using an audigy now and I uninstall the onboard sound thru device manager, but whenever i restart the computer windows tries to install the onboard sound. How can i disable the actual hardware. I couldnt find a setting in the bios for it.
