Usually this is found if you hit CTRL + ALT + F9. It sounds like more of a graphical error (xorg) than an internet based error, but I'd love to help.

Either way, it doesn't matter, as the packages installed in this guide are found on the original installation CD, and thus, an internet connection is not required! Thanks for reading carefully though! Most people use this guide because their internet doesn’t work.

The way to create the files is to execute: sudo gedit /etc/defaul/NetworkManager And then: sudo gedit /etc/defaul/NetworkManagerDispatcher Write the word "exit" in both files then hit the save button and close the window. Good Luck! Sorry I couldn’t get back to you earlier. The way to create the files is to execute:

I have having problems with the following step: Create two files that only contain the word “exit” at the following locations: /etc/default/NetworkManager /etc/default/NetworkManagerDispatcher I cannot find those folders and I cannot create a new folder within the default folder. Is that what I am to do? Thank you for your help! Al Hi,
