i'm trying to install ydl 4 on my quicksilver 733. i downloaded and
burned the iso's from the ftp site, and then booted from the first cd.
when i tried to run the graphical installer at the boot prompt, it
tried to start the install, but "exited abnormally" when it tried to
connect to X server.
so i just used install-safe, which seemed to work. but after
rebooting, xwindow could not be loaded, because of an error (sorry, i
don't remember what it was) that said said something to the effect of
it couldn't be loaded. then it presented me with a terminal where i
can only log in as root, since i was never presented with the "first
boot" set up, where i guess i add more users. any ideas?
