For some reason when I initiate an install it begins loading and my screen goes to sleep? Tried legacy with basic graphics, different monitors and tried different video settings in BIOS.. I have used American Megatrends mother boards in the past with no issues... Any ideas? Can I install it from a grub command line?

When you have the grub screen you get a few seconds to hit any key to change the kernel line. Can you try adding "vga=791" or "vga=788" or "vga=785" to the kernel line? (VGA modes) -

When you boot up a text screen will come up indicating what you are about to boot to (iirc, ClearOS Installation, ClearOS Recovery and something else). You get a few seconds to hit any key to stop the countdown to boot. Then you have to select the line you want with the arrow keys then hit something. I think it is "e" to edit the boot line, but it tells you on the screen. Go to the end of the line and add "vga=791" without the quotes and then do whatever the screen says you need to do to continue with the boot.
I'll be trying a fresh install at the weekend so I'll see if I can note the exact commands. -

7.3 has a text mode install - tedious and slow, but works - done two installations this way now...

By default the firewall is open to all outgoing traffic, but please try to understand the firewall (iptables) concept. The incoming firewall is for traffic destined for ClearOS. Port Forwarding is for traffic from the WAN through ClearOS to some device on the LAN. They are mutually exclusive. In your case for exchange you *probably" want port forwarding. The reason I say probably is because the mail server can be configured in ClearOS to do its spam and virus filtering then pass the mail through to a mail server behind it but this is a slightly more advanced set up than simple port forwarding. If you wanted this set up, you'd open incoming tcp:25 rather than port forward it. -

That is right, and remove the incoming rule.
BTW the subnets 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are not the best if you ever want to use VPN's. You risk networking issues if you ever connect a router as a WAP or any other device which comes with a default IP as it is often in one of these two subnets and you can get IP clashes. -

Hitting tab at the initial install screen pulls up a command line with a Linux install command already typed in. It just does the normal install and graphics goes to no signal and the monitor goes to sleep while the install is going on. If delete that line and type linux text it does the normal install and again the monitor says no signal and goes to sleep -

Tried nomodeset no luck, figured after getting to the install menu hitting escape gets you to the boot: line as suggested by another user but does the same thing after the start of install. Not a quitter but looking like I'm gonna use untangle on this piece of hardware just cant spend anymore time on this ..
