Hello newbie, My intro to mandrake was 9.1. It installed without a hitch and has run fine since, with little trouble. It is great!
Given the above, I installed 10.0 official on another box, expecting the same. No go, though. Initially the box booted from the CD and I opted for the basic install, reformatting the existing Win disk. It stopped a couple of times during the install, and required a couple of reinstalls to complete. MD now boots up, but I get the CL prompt only. Startkde produces a profusion of "can't open" messages, and it seems to have no "display" available. It also has no knowledge of the network or card. Ditto for ports. I can't reinstall again because the CD seems to be fried. It refuses to stay closed either with or without a disk. If the power is on, the tray stays open, no matter what. :-(( It's a Toshiba drive. The md5's on the disks are OK, and they seemed to work during install, but the install program seemed to be rather confused. It asked for a disk, but when I inserted it, it asked for a different one, and then a different one, and so on, never seeming to find what it needed. Any ideas to get 10.0 running would be much appreciated. Also would like to get the CD running again, too. :-) Did I encounter, perhaps, the two extremes in installing Mandrake? :-) -- Many thanks, rikona mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
