okay on my abit ab-px5 board with a pentium-mmx @200 MHz 160 mb ram the install locked up when trying to load stage2. alt0 boot image was: Fatal error stage1: not a directory alt1 boot image /tmp/image/Mandrake/base/mdk_inst_stage2_bz2 /dev/ram3 on /tmp/stage2 as type ext2 alt2 boot image reading compressed ramdisk io_error looks like it is actually something with the pentium-mmx cpu itself, as opposed to just the older pentiums. (there were at least two people that have successfully gotten 9.0 onto a 133 and a 166 MHz pentium resectively ) Jaqui
