Title: successful mandrake install

Bob,

 

Congrats on your successful Mandrake 8.2 install! I also have a similar success to report. After Mandrake 8.2 and Red Hat 7.1 both failed to install on the first screen with what looked like a fatal hardware error, I was able to get Red Hat 7.3 installed successfully on my spare machine. Time to start reading up on it as well, even though I still intend on keeping Windows XP w/ Office XP as my primary desktop machine for the time being.

 

:-)

Bill

Since this was my topic to worry you all about a while ago, it’s appropriate to announce that the purchased mandrake8.2 was an easy installation with their CDs.  Now to configure it to use my dsl connection and LAN and see how star office 6.0 works . . . I’ll try first, then RTFM, then ask if I need help.  The objective is to make this my primary desktop machine.  Thanks to Josep, Don Rosenberg and Bill Geschwind for their help so far.
