Again, I'm going to need some more information. What version of Mandrake are you trying to install? The latest version is 9.2 so if you are working with something older you might want to give it a try, or you could try a different distro. as well. What exactly happens during the install? Does it give you an error message, does it stop or lock up the whole machine? If the GUI doesn't say anything, you can try hitting Ctrl-Alt-F1 and then Alt-F2, etc. to switch between virtual terminals, there may be some more info. there. Take any error messages and run them through Google, most of the time you won't be the first person to have that problem. Post it to the list as well, and we may be able to help you out. > I have a ZE5385CA from HP.
