I'm wondering if there's a problem with the release.....
I downloaded the release from rpmfind.net. Copied it over to my TP-560 laptop
(used for testing new distros, natch..)
I got as far as you did.
I even tried installing it using my RH-6.0 install diskette; funny, I got
farther along using that diskette than I did using the Mandrake diskette (after
renaming the install dir "RedHat", of course).
I got to the point where it tried to actually locate the packages to install,
but of course the RedHat diskette couldn't locate them properly (all of the
prompts at this point said "Mandrake", btw.....)
Anyone get this thing installed yet?
