Can't get Fedora 19 Xfce Live CD to boot on one computer
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
First: the MD5SUMs are correct and they both boot on several other
computers, including my own KVM VM's. (I state this first because that
is what I would first think.)
I have a customer with a computer (i5) that I can not get either of
Fedora 19 Xfce Live CD to boot. (Haven't tried FC 20 yet.)
But I can get my Windows 7 WIN PE disk to boot.
[/editorial comment] AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH !!!! [/editorial comment]
It boots past open selection screen, then goes to the gray background
with the blinking cursor in the upper right. Then it just stays there.
You can eject the CD-ROM from the drive.
Any ideas what is going on?
Many thanks,
-T

Fedora XFCE desktop and onscreen keyboard
by David Ceremuga
I'm sorry for such a basic question. How do I enable the onscreen keyboard
for my Samsung Series 7 slate. There isn't an option under accessibility.
This is a very nicely designed desktop and I would like to get this working.
