TERM=linux if i accept default it gets past that message indicating a problem with console but the screen goes black although it looks as if the monitor is still active i.e. green light not a yellow one. i am using the debian 3.0r1 disk as my boot disk. i recall the last time i got the install to work i got a penguin in the corner but graphic install never worked and i had some difficulty with the x server starting. any help on reinstallation would be appreciated i.e. necessary mods to the parameters on boot to get back to installing. thanks in advance and sorry for regressing.
