I'm using a Matrox Millennium 2MB WRAM-it's one of the
original first series.

Unfortunately, there were no details. It just said I
couldn't configure X the way I had it, and that it would use
a default configuration.

Actually, the person who made the CD for me installed it on
his laptop, and it seemed to work. I'll ask him if he got
any error messages.
During one of the few times it actually DID boot, it said it
couldn't load shared library
"libz.so.1" I couldn't find that file anywhere on the CD or
the mirror site (http://www.mandrake.tiger8.com) that I
used.
What is the most up-to-date Noth American mirror site ? Can
you recommend one?
