Hi, when I install the "regular" install option mandrake 7 fails to find
both my network cards, but if I install the custom/server method it will
find both cards, the problem with the second install menu is it does not
boot in to xwindoes as does the first method. is there a fix for this?
The other problem a friend and myself have is that we cannot use out HP
8100 cd writers as a primary cdrom as the information on the cd cannot be
accessed. they are listed as suported and show up in the configuration as
mounted, but cannot read the media. For some one with two cd-roms this is
fine but myself I use my HP as my only cdrom.
and Finaly, do we realy need 3 or 4 partitions on the hard drive just
for Linux? or can it all be installed on one larger partition?
thanks
Steve
