Really? I installed 8.1 on an old IBM Thinkpad 760XL w/o incident. Perhaps a little more detail might be more constructive...

Just to vent: Had a perfectly functioning 7.2 on my laptop. That was easier than any other OS (windows or linux) I tried. Total plug & play. Then I decided to try 8.1 for all the updates and extras...what a piece of SH!T! I know a lot of people worked long and hard on this, and I have been a Mandrake supporter since V.7.x I tell people how easy the install is, how they don't need to be a linux guru to get busy doing stuff. Robust, stable, versatile. Now I have to turn around and say to those people, whatever you do....DON'T upgrade to MDK8. I am not a guru, but neither am I a novice; I pissed a whole day away trying to have desktops that didn't go flakey, and Multi-Media that worked..No such luck. Now I am going to rollback to 7.2 If Mandrake is still trying to target the average desktop PC user, they will have to totally rethink the installation process for 8. Version 8 is a step BACKWARD as far as ease of installation and use go. Ken
