[SOLVED] Newbie to Snakeoil having issues getting started

[PKay]

Click YES to download the matching grub. I think you only need to do this once, and it will not prompt you again.

The final screen is the blinking cursor which does nothing sadly.

It could be your system is set to boot up in EFI mode. Can you check if your router has given your computer a IP? If not, go to the BIOS setup, and disable EFI, use something like:

Code:

Boot Option #2-> Your USB Device, in BIOS mode

That should give you a graphical screen back, and from there you can tell if there's a problem with the boot process or not.

The Antipodes should be using a Jetway NF9C board, and that is the same motherboard I'm using to run my Snakeoil PC.. Have a check in this wiki and see if your BIOS setup is done like so: Link.

I have tried a couple of USB boot programs and am now getting the following message.

The computer does have an IP address and Daphile is still on the SSD.
