Thank you for the suggestion. But I don't think it's an over heated CPU,
I already took the cover off some time ago, and I periodically clean out
the dust... Aside from which this problem only seams to affect new
Mandrake installations. I don't have any such problems when running
either of my Red Hat Fedora ( FC1 or FC2 ) installations, Nor my current
MDK 9.1, {Though I did have a similar time getting it installed back when
it was my new MDK... I don't know why it happens, but it's painful to
have to blindly hope the next version will install at all. Since it
doesn't seam like anybody else is having such a problem (other than
those with cooling issues) I suspect it may be a hardware compatibility
issue. But with what part of my system, I don't have a clue.
Whatever the problem is, it also didn't interfere with running a Mepis
linux from the "live CD" nor from the hard drive when I had it installed.
I also don't experience such problems running a Knoppix "live CD" linux
which I use as my preferred rescue CD. The thing is, sometimes I prefer
using Mandrake rather than Fedora. But I've never had such problems
installing the Red Hat systems.
I generally have 4 linux installations configured and ready to run on my
PC. The idea is if I do something stupid and totally hose an installation,
or if an update breaks an application I'm needing to use, I can probably
just run one of the others until I fix or replace the hosed one.
I gave two of those spots over to Fedora (One given over to FC1 where
almost everything works properly, the other given to continual upgrades
to whatever they currently think is the latest "stable" core. Though ever
since FC2 started supporting ide burners without using "hdb=ide-scsi",
I've had to do my burning from my FC1 or MDK 9.1 installations <sigh>)
If I can keep it reasonably up to date, the other two will most likely
both belong to Mandrake. If not, sigh, frankly I'm not sure I want the
challenge of getting Debian to install. And I'm sure I'm not up to
building a Gentoo system. If I knew what actually causes the problem I
might find a way to fix it next time. As it is... <sigh!>
But like I said. Thanks for the suggestion.
