i finally installed CRUX but when i did this:

Xorg -configure

my screen went blank and never came back. i know it takes 2-3 seconds till X writes its "xorg.conf.new" file but i did wait for 5 minutes and my screen never came , it HUNG right there , blank in my face. then i tried "Ctrl-Alt-backspace" and nothing happended, i did "Ctrl-Alt-Del" and nothing happened. i tried those key combinations for 5-7 times and nothing happened then after 2-3 minutes suddenly it rebooted.

what was wrong ?

Do you mind to send more info about your harware? Maybe something wrong with video drivers?

i am using Gentoo now as i needed some OS to post to mailing list. BTW, here is my hardware: AMD64 on ASUS K8V-MX chipsets: VIA K8M800 and VT8237

Have you tried do this from root account? Normal one?

of course, from "root". i tried 2 installations but same trouble, blank screen.

Cheers,

can't have cheers without X (because X == Bruce Lee's movies ) :-(
