Sounds like a problem between chair and keyboard, or possibly a dud CD. I have always rather liked GoblinX, and found the Goblin guy responsive to emails. I have seen the odd problem with mounting USB sticks. If there is a weakness around this distro maybe it is the one man band problem which afaict is essentially the case, but aside from that it is a useful Slackware derivative. It's certainly nice to look at if nothing else. Don’t know what’s up with the fellow who couldn’t get the Goblin to go. Sounds like a problem between chair and keyboard, or possibly a dud CD.

Per your other comment: Yeah, Vector is a real nice distro too. It feels very polished and professional. Thank you for saying.

What happened on boot? I've never used GoblinX but have used a Slackware brother distro, Vector Linux, and had a similar experience to Susan... it always works well.

I've had rather good luck with it. I've been running it on my laptop to watch movies and such since 3.0 was released and I've tested several versions over the years, it always did good for me.

I was extremely disappointed. Nothing in this distro worked. Not even the terminals. I would never advise anyone to use this distro and I will never use it again.
