There's no comman prompt to boot ubuntu. And it seems that I have a display
car (ATI Radeon X800 SE) that is not very well supported by most Linuxen. I
downloaded Suse 10.1, no go, and now I'm downloading the latest Knoppix
version. Let's see if it works by forcing the resolution from the command
line.
