HELP please - LL 2.2 32 Bit live DVD HDD install problem

[newtusmaximus]

Partial success.- Switched off computer - disconnected main battery and left switched off for  about an hour.  Retested boot up and still same problem of hung screen. However on fresh rebooting - able to get DVD to run and so reinstalled LL2.2 this time not choosing the LVM option.  Installed smoothly and  presume new boot loader from the DVD did the job. as on rebooting and DVD removed  LL2.2 screen appreared - HOWEVER yer to find the correct set up combination for the UK keyboard on this - The Fujitsu Amilo option for keyboard does not correct the problem.
meaning my original password on installation  which works to get through log on into main LL screen  does not work for root permissions to install updates- Computer wired up to router

ASSISTANCE Please - could I ask someone to look at the md5  result posted above and check for me that the iso I had downloaded was in fact OK and not corrupted.  Thanks.
There must be a simpler way of setting up LL  - out of the box with confidence??
How can a "light" linux like puppy do it all  so simply - hardly any input to get initially up and running on this  Fuji machine -

Don't get me wrong - LL convertee here  ( using it as a real alternative to MS for business ) and promoting wherever.  However
adoption is not for the faint hearted - Time is not always available and some might deter.
