Thanks to everyone for the ideas so far. We're trying the 8.2 download now, not sure if IE6's FTP is downloading this thing in binary format, at 2hrs+ it had better be!
Tried the XFdrake, messed with the settings a bit and that did not work. Was not aware of the 640x480 problem, I am going to try that now. We only have the one power cable for both machines at the moment so this is a long process of shutting down and starting up alternately... I remembered a key to using any Unix system if something goes wrong: Rule 1) Check the logs Rule 2) Always do rule 1 first I looked at install.log and it reported the following close to the end of the setup: "The graphic card does not like X in framebuffer" That does not look good. I don't want to have to buy another graphic card after forking out for some more RAM for this old crate! It was meant to be free! ;oP Thinking of the card, it did have some issues on Windows until I wiped both (!) installed drivers and loaded the latest from ATI, then it worked OK. Any idea how I would go about a similar procedure (if possible) in Mandrake? Thanks again for any input you can offer! .me. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
