Hi
since I don't know how knowledgeable you are in linux I'll start from the beginning.
if I understand correctly the problem is when you're installing LM8. if it's a
compatibility bug, there's nothing we can do at the moment, but first lets rule out
the other options.
the first thing you need to check is that the iso's are ok (all the instructions below
are for unix envoirment. if you don't have a linux to test these things you'll have to
find the windows replacements. I can't help you with that :-( ).
run 'md5sum <iso file>' on both iso's. you should get these results:
0de166745f40bba5cd9c4f051d9cdccf Mandrake80-ext.iso
043ea0b220833fa209920ac0d2d0bd41 Mandrake80-inst.iso
if that's ok, then you'll have to compare the the iso's to the cd you've burned:
'diff <you're cdrom device> <iso file>'. of-course you'll have to put the same cdrom
in the device :-)
now, when I tried it with the install cd, I got an error, so what I did was to mount
the iso file (mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 <iso file> <mount point>) and the
cd I just burned and then run 'diff -r <mount point of the cd> <mount point of the
iso>'.
the last thing you should do is to perform an installation from the HD instead of the
cdrom (in case your cdrom drive is having hard time reading the cd you've burned). I
don't remember how to do this ( the last time I've installed from HD was 3 years ago
with a different distribution) but it should be on the manual that is on the cd. if I
remember correctly you should make a Mandrake boot floppy and copy the Mandrake
directory to a partition that you are not (!!) going to install on. it should be on
the root directory (e.g. c:\Mandrake). Now, boot from the floppy and it should ask
your what kind of installation you want to perform (cdrom, HardDrive, ftp...). as I
said I don't really remember this procedure but it should be something like that (help
anybody...).
Two last words.
1. always send your mails to the mailing list so if anyone's having the same problem
he could also use the information (and of-course, someone could also have a better
solution).
2. if it's install without wheel mouse use this installation. you can always configure
the wheel mouse later.
