Hi!Farid,
I'm a real newbie trying to install Mandrake on my iMac 500 DV SE. I've had alot of problems during installation but I'm getting close now. First the installation program couldn't partition the swap section and after trying to reinstall and format a couple of times i did succeed. Now everything seems ok and starting up the system works fine until the GUI is loaded, when everything turns black. I don't know what to do. I've tried to run the installation program but it won't let me make any "fine tuning". I'm forced to reformat and reinstall everytime I run the installation program. Any ideas, anyone?
Best regards
Farid
Your problem sounds vaguely familiar as being something peculiar to the MACs. Its a video problem and as I recall there isn't much that can be done about it. You may want to check the archives on this one. However, I have a feeling that your best bet is going to be to go with OS X for you Imac. That will have the video drivers that your machine will need to operate correctly.
