Je ne connais pas grand'chose en linux. Cependant, lors de ma premiere
installation de mandrake 7.0, il y a trois jours, j'ai eu le m�me problem.
J'avais choisi l'option
Custom.
Si tu as mandrake sur une partition toute seule, tu n'as
qu'� d�marer l'ordinateur avec ton cd-rom de mandrake
et chosir l'option "Recommended" ; tu auras la chance
de reformater ta partition de mandrake sans perdre les donnees sur les
autres paritions.
Il y a une section d'aide qui te suit durant l'intallation suis-la aussi et
tout se passeras tres bien.
Bonne chance. fais moi savoir si �a a march� pour toi.
