I'm assuming you meant "/usr/bin/acer.tar.gz" in the above message. Do you have any Acer hardware? like an acer monitor? If so, you could try typing "text" at the prompt when the mandrake cd-rom starts. This will give you a text istallation instead of a graphical one but this might eliminate your problem. You could also try pulling out your cd-rw and sticking a generic cdrom in there just until mandrake is installed, and then put your cd-rw back in. Also try disconnecting/removing any unnecessary hardware like your modem. Sometimes these will be detected and installed during the install process but they can also cause problems...especially internal modems since alot of them these days are WinModems which aren't very compatible with Linux (because they are specifically designed for Windows). Dont worry too much about removing hardware before the install process because once you get mandrake installed you can put your hardware back in and then mandrake can have a go at detecting it and setting it up for you. > all the copies of linux i can't install but one. > i have tested these CDs of two different computers and > the same things happen. If it still doesn't work then I can supply you with working coppies of Mandrake 9.0 I know they work because I used them to install on my system which i'm using right now. let us know how you go :)
