I tried to run the SimplyMepis on my solo 9100, but it will not work. I get several errors when it trys run from the cd. Unfortunately I haven't wrote them down. I am able to get to the the login prompt, but after logining in it displays a red colored font command line... I have run Knoppix and Kubunta from a "live" cd with little or no problems. Any idears out there???

OK, start the Live CD
when you get the graphical login prompt press
Ctrl-Alt-F2
login as root
with the non-secret password 'root'
type these
cd /var/log/

(press q to quit this screen)
look for errors and write them down
and
less dmesg
