Title: 5.10.1 MinimalCLI install GUI
Post by: BRockyC on February 22, 2020, 09:33:58 AM
Hello, have Pentium4 Gateway GR507.  Will not install from usb, bios bug, no fix.  No DVD, but did burn to CD, 500MB, and installed.  Blinking cursor on Desktop.  I think I'm close.  I think Sparky is running from CD.

I need instructions to install from prompt.  Thank you.

Only the fact that it started in Sioux City IA made me search.     The Black and White Hereford cow splotch identifies the site as the true successor.

No GR listed.

What is your memory size?  What is your architechture (i386  - 32 bit or 64 bit.)  What architechture (32 bit or 64) did you download.
