I could not install mandrake 9 with XP. From what I have read I would have to have Partition Majic since I have NTFS partition.

Therefore I reformatted the whole drive and began to install Mandrake 9 (without XP)

I got the following
Error message: XFree86-4.2.1-3mdk.i586

hrm.. given a choice betwen "/, /boot" and "/, /home" i'd recommend "/,/home"
any day of the week. /boot is nice as a safety feature, but /home is far more
useful when doing things like reinstalling or changing your partitions
around.

yes, and this should happen automatically during the install, right near the
end after it's partitioned and done most of the installing...
