Hello, I have two questions for which I would be most grateful to receive any help: The first is a problem I am having during the Mandrake graphical installation process and I haven't found an answer in searching the archives. The installation has crashed during the file copying phase under recommended, custom, and expert install modes. I go through the process past partitioning and formatting drives, I choose the packages to install, then the installation copying from cd begins. During this phase, the installation exits with 'error 11' and I see a text screen with some dumped error messages. This part happens so fast that it is difficult for me to see exactly what package is being installed when the problem occurs but it seems to have happened at different places. I did make notes on the error messages during one install, but I will need to post those later if necessary since I left them at home. One involved errors reported that looked like an assertion failure, window!=NULL. This may all be too vague, but I'd appreciate any hints at where to start looking for a solution. PS, I just thought of something: perhaps I must make sure mboard is not using ATA66 during installation? I now remember seeing something about that. I'll post this anyway, but I'll check on that. The second question may be related to the first: I am attempting to install Mandrake 7.0 on hdb, a 7Gig drive. hda is a 20G IBM drive that holds win95 and winNT. My plan was to make a system that loads LILO in the hda MBR then if booting linux, boots from a boot partition on hdb. I assumed I could also just choose to boot linux from a floppy that tells the system that \boot is on hdb. Maybe I'm totally messed up in my thinking. Where should I put \boot? I know it must be below the 1024 cylinder, but which drive? I've found several dual/triple boot descriptions but all dealt with using one hd only -- which I assumed to be more difficult. [system is Athlon 700, Asus K7M mboard, ati rage fury 128 vga] If anyone has any pointers, I'd be most grateful.
