i've run legacy os 2 live and it works very good,
but each time i install it, soon after the grub i see the blank screen with the underscore blinking .. and it won't move from that.. can this be fixed anyhow?

i insert the cd, make it boot from the cd, i chose setup (cannot remember exactly where) i make one 2 GB patition for swap and the rest is an ext3 or 4 for legacy, setup successfully completes, grub is correctly installed
and eventually i reboot
after grub all i get is a blank screen with the blinking underscore on the top left corner..

Hello malato,
I always recommend users install to a ext2 partition with 500mb's of swap as this gives the best change of getting a working copy of Legacy OS 2 installed to a users computer.
If you read other users install problems you will see that most try and install to a ext3 partition and fail. ext2 works just fine trust me.
All I have just said and more are in the pop ups that are part of the installer. Please take the time to read them while trying the install again!
