But why would you want to buy and old crappy comuter for $100 when you can get a decent system for $200
Jamie : I'm pulling my hair out trying to install *anything* on this new "parts is : parts" system, much less install linux. : : I've put together a system on a shoestring budget. I have an 8 gig drive : master, and a 4 gig slave. I downloaded Mandrake 9.0 in October and was : able to get in running back then, but was not able to get XWindows : running. I've since then tried different hard drives. : : Somewhere along the way I've screwed something up. Upon trying to install : Mandrake again, I get this error when trying to boot from the CD: : : Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM: : 1. FD System Type-(00) : : And it simply hangs there. I've tried a newly created Mandrake disk, as : well as an NT4 disk. Nothing seems to be working. The CD spins up when I : reboot but stops soon after I get the above message. This CD worked back : in October and I haven't done anything to change it since then. : : I'm about ready to give up on this hardware completely. Does anyone know : of a really cheap system that I can purchase.. or does anyone have a : working linux system that they don't need anymore and is willing to get : rid of at a good price? : : Thanks for any help. : : james : : _______________________________________________ : Eug-LUG mailing list : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug -- No microsoft products were used to produce this message.
