(First time Linux user noob)

I installed Linux Lite 7.0 on an old Acer Laptop for my kid to play CBBC games.

When it boots I get a black screen and I can start typing. If I hit enter approximately 10 times it will continue to boot fine. total boot time 2 mins.

If I don't press anything it will eventually boot - total time 6 minutes.

Is there a setting I can/should change as it looks to me it is asking me to type something on boot.

I did a full wipe of the hard drive and only Linux is installed. Previous had Vista on there and that booted in less than a minute.


Edit: Just in case anyone else has this problem - I installed Zorin OS and that boots fine
