Wanting to dual-boot Ubuntu 7.10 onto a running Windoze XP installation, I downloaded systemrescuecd -86 -0.4. All went well until, after the screen shown at para 3 of the howto I typed startx after the prompt

time xx:xx root......sysresccd /root % _

Screen went grey then "Out of range" appeared but no mini hard drive picture to double click on (even though I waited a very long time). Then had to reboot via switch on CPU, same result as before.
What am I doing wrong? BTW Windoze still appears to boot, and work OK.

You might want to try this instead if you want a dual-boot system: http://www.howtoforge.com/unetbootin_windows_ubuntu_fedora

Very grateful for your help Falko, but regret to report that unetbootin hangs towards the end of the installation of ubuntu 7.10 process.
