Okay, so I loaded it onto a CD and I’m in the installation process….I come to this “Windows Domain membership” page during install and I’m completely lost!! What the heck is “Membership Domain”? Everything I’ve tried to type in there returns with a yast2 error message stating, “cannot use the workgroup “blabla” for linux authentication. Enter a valid domain.” AHHH!! I’m so frustrated! This is not user friendly at all (and I’m a computer programmer! What the heck?). I was so looking forward to getting up and running with Google OS and now I’m regretting uninstalling Windows XP to put this on here! Is there a quick answer to this so I can move forward? It’s tying up one of my main computers now as I cannot exit this without messing up the whole install. Please answer quick or I’ll have to just go back to MS Windows (Xp, 7 or whatever), at least they aren’t talking over my head during install.
