Dapper Dan 0 Posted July 22, 2004 We get an awful lot of posts like yours on "10." Do a search here on "Mandrake 10 install", and you should have an array of information on this problem. Personally, my advice is to go to Fedora Core 1. Good Luck! Share this post Link to post
jimf43 0 Posted July 23, 2004 Or better yet get a copy of Mepis You'll have a much better chance of success and be happier in the long run. SimpllyMepis is in rc2 and nothing compares. http://www.mepis.org/ Share this post Link to post
Dapper Dan 0 Posted July 23, 2004 Don't listen to Jim, he's drunk! Seriously, Mepis is good and has good hardware detection. Apart from Knoppix, it's probably the most user friendly Debian spinoff there is out there. Share this post Link to post

Not fully compatable with Debian standard or the repositories. Mepis is fully compatible with unstable Debian. Share this post Link to post
Dapper Dan 0 Posted July 23, 2004 ...and in the Debian world, unstable truly means unstable! Share this post Link to post
jimf43 0 Posted July 23, 2004 Sorry my error. I meant testing not unstable. That's reserved for Fedora Share this post Link to post
