Title: okay i feel retarded. linux mint
Post by: Lozal on June 18, 2010, 11:36:47 AM
I made a live CD, burnt the ISO, all that good stuff. I loaded it into the computer, blahblahblah. All of a sudden a screen says "log in" and I haven't even installed it yet. What do I log in as?

To be fair, Mint is pretty much the same as Ubuntu except with all the codecs preinstalled. If you were doing fine with Ubuntu, you're not missing out.

There's an account for a live session... I think. Have you tried just waiting? Maybe you got a bad CD. Try it on another computer. Do other live CDs work?

And yeah Mint is basically Ubuntu + codecs.
