Yes, and no. :-) I just installed 9.2 this past weekend, and had problems on a similar system (Compaq 2175us, 512MB, 40GB, WinXP Pro) ... I've not used Mandrake Move at all, but perhaps you're halting at the same point mine did, which is "Starting pcmcia" in the boot sequence. What /I/ had to do was to do an interactive boot by pressing "I" at the appropriate time and then "Yes"-ing my way through every prompt /except/ the one for pcmcia (and, once in Mandrake, disabling that in the boot sequence). If Mandrake Move supports switches or boot options (again, I've not seen it, and I'm a real newbie anyway :*), I'd wager that's the sticking point. (Though, of course, it could be something else.) -- Chuck Mattsen ... [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... Mahnomen, MN Registered Linux User #346519
