this one is mostly dedicated to flaming, i think. i have fun here, anyway.

For more technical help, i would suggest you try linuxquestions.org. The community is very friendly and will try to point you to a better resource if they know one.

Honestly though, you are using something rather new and exotic (from what i saw on google), so i doubt you will be able to find much.

You should definitely make a backup of your disc image before you do anything, if you can... (what kind of I/O devices do you have? If you have a USB port this is very easy)

I might be able to help you if you can open a command line...
