It sounds like it doesn't like your graphics. Start in safe mode and see if that works.

nothing seems to change the startup...the 3.0 splash screen is there while loading then finishes with command line..

maybe that s what lite means..

Hello REDGLOBSTOPPER.

one Question here for you.
Have you set partition for Linux format the partition to be -(Unallocated)

Usually if you get kicked to the command line your graphics are not read by the kernel. In other words, the os does not recognize witch driver to load on startup.

Hi,
Just to get the basics out of the way,
Confirm that your download is O.K. by checking the MD5Sum of the downloaded ISO.
Next, re-burn the ISO on a new DVD at the slowest possible speed to ensure a good burn.
After this, test again and see what happens.
If you have no joy, please post your system specifications so we can dig a little deeper to find a solution.

Cheers.

Another option is a usb install. Save you a disc.

not sure how to do the ck-sum thing

If running Ultimate Edition, use Nautilus to navigate to the directory in which you have placed the .ISO. Right-click on an empty spot in the file list. Move your mouse cursor to Scripts in that menu and then select "Terminal Here." When the terminal opens, type md5sum Foo.iso (where Foo is the name of the file). After a time, the md5sum will be displayed. Compare the result with the checksum that should either be listed on the download page where you procured the .ISO or in a file called md5sums.txt in the same directory. If the two checksums match completely, the copy that you downloaded is a good (exact) copy.

EDIT: Perhaps the powers-that-be would accept a suggestion to add a script to "Check md5sum of selected file" to the Scripts sub-menu? That might make it easier to use for those who have an aversion to the terminal environment.

no gimp in 3.0 final?

Yes, Gimp is there. It is in the menu under Graphics. It is listed by its full name, GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is between Gnome Paint Drawing Editor and gThumb Image Viewer.

Hope this helps.
