At the start, I'd appreciate it if anyone responding would copy my email
address. I somehow got dropped from the list about a month ago and for
some reason have been unable to re-subscribe (or else my employer is
filtering email from mandrake somehow).

I have installed Mdk8 (from .iso) on two different machines (Dell P166,
64MB, 6GB IDE and Gateway Celeron 500, I810 chipset, 64MB, 8.6GB IDE)
and have ended up with the same problem on both. The install goes fine
including the setup and testing of X but upon rebooting both machines
try to start X and end up dropping back to the CLI. Manual attempts to
start X fail as well. I have looked through the list archives and
haven't seen any other references to this problem (makes me wonder what
I've done).

install.log on the Gateway shows these three things - 

*perl setting locale failed
*unpacking cpio archive - bad magic
*glibc-2.2.2 install failed exit status 127

I haven't been able to check the Dell install for similar entries yet.
/var/log/messages and /var/log/XFree86.0.log show nothing helpful
either.

Anyone have any insight on this problem?
