It's actually CTRL-ALT-F2 which should switch you to another screen that reads something like:

linuxmce: #

From there you will need to follow the aforementioned instructions.

I don't have the installation script handy but it should be the line that contains "formatdrive"

It should be towards the top of the file.

Sorry for the delay in my response from the question before.

3. vi /usr/bin/lite-installer.sh

- move the cursor down to the beginning of the line that you need to comment out
- type the letter "i" on your keyboard and this will place you to "edit" mode ("i" stands for "insert" as in: insert text starting here)
- type the "#" sign (shift-3) ... the # sign is used to comment out a line, when the script is parsed it skips anything after the # sign and moves to the next line
- hit the "ESC" key on your keyboard and this will take you out of edit mode

Now to save the file:
- type the ":" key and that will put you in "command" mode
- type the "wq" ("w" stands for "write" and "q" stands for "quit") keys so that now the line at the bottom of the screen reads like ":wq"  and hit the "ENTER" key

Good luck.

Thank you for all your assistance.

I now have a system up and running and am working through the configuration as I type.

Thank you, again, so very much.

So no suggestions by anyone?

I attempt to install with the LinuxMCE Quick install DVD and it fails as it goes through the installation.
I get to the option to select which drive to install it to.
I select the drive and it sets up the partition (inodes and stuff) and then states it created the filesystem and returns both drive identifiers (hdb1 '/' and hdb5 'swap').

I'm not sure what's going wrong.  I also go to CTRL-ALT-F8 and the last thing it states was initializing was:
"Running local boot scripts /etc/rc.local" and never progresses any further.

I have had Ubuntu and MythTV both on this box before so I don't believe it's the hardware causing an issue.

Any help is sincerely and greatly appreciated.
