Dear List,
I�m hoping some kind soul will help me with this... I�m a Mac
user so keep it simple;-)))
I�m attempting to install Mandrake 7.0 on an old Compaq.
I start up with the boot floppy that came with the Mandrake pack,
I also have CD disk one in the CD drive.
The machine boots on the floppy Ok.
It then says:
boot:
Loading CDrom.rdz......
Loading vmlinuz.......
(wait)
Initializing CD rom
In second stage install
(wait)
I am then asked to choose a language
(I choose Uk English and hit return)
I then choose the �recommended install� and hit return
I then choose to �Install� rather than �Upgrade� and hit return
I then get an error message saying �An error occurred, No
available partitions�
I have not formatted the hard drive yet, I�m expecting to be
given that option in the next window. I am *not* wanting a dual
boot system, Linux only!!
Any ideas?
Many thanks
