[xubuntu] daru3 Xubuntu Install

[AlexInBlack]

I installed Xubuntu 9.10 via LiveUSB. I didn't like the password I entered, so right after booting and enabling a wireless network, I changed it by booting into recovery mode and using:

passwd username

When I rebooted, I got locked into a cycle of login screens. My partitions were all the same (I just installed over them, making sure to format them as ext3). The only thing different from my 9.04 install was that I enabled the option: "Require password to log in and to decrypt home folder"

I then reinstalled, but this time, without requiring the password to decrypt home folder. It seems to work fine now.

I still get messages on the boot-up screen before the GRUB menu. I don't know what they are, but they do kind of worry me and look messy, so I attached a picture. The last two lines are what I have no idea are about.
The picture's a bit blurry. The last two lines are:
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM

I realize that Xubuntu isn't supported and Ubuntu 9.10 in general still isn't, but I appreciate any input.

PXE ROM is built into the network card & is used to boot to a network,
mostly for computers that don't have a disk drive.

The message does no harm & judging from google it is fairly common.
