Cannot run LiveCD

Hi, As a total newbie to Linux, I'm trying to trial the Live CD on a PC running Pentium III 1Ghz with just 256Mb of RAM, before biting the bullet and removing Windoze XP Pro SP3 and hopefully replacing it with Slitaz.

The problem I have is that after presenting the boot option GUI, it goes into command line mode [as Linux does] but stops asking for UN & PW. I've tried root | hacker etc but not joy at all.

However, on a different PC I'm running VMWare and created a virtual machine with 256Mb of RAM and this fired up the Live CD pefectly.

Any advice will be much appreciated and thank you for reading this!

Re: Cannot run LiveCD

Would you mind booting back into the LiveCD on that system and then choosing the option "SliTaz justx Live" and then reporting back if a window appeared? (It should be a terminal window)

You will also need to choose a keyboard setup (You'll get the dialog after choosing that option) before the system can continue. You should probably just choose the first option 'us'.
