yakkob 0 Posted March 22, 2003 Just done the first reboot, and received the message 'Operating system not found'...mint! Bios seems to be detecting my 30.7 gb HD as 8455 mb too..Oh Well. EDIT: Ahem..My bad... lol, forgot to enable the hd in bios, and it was still trying to boot off the cd first. /me skulks away..hehe Share this post Link to post
yakkob 0 Posted March 22, 2003 ok..had a problem. It seems that my onboard s3 trio is shagged. Just been up to work and managed to find an old PCI S3 Virge. Upgrading as we speak.. I must say, everything looks much tidier now. I was only getting 16 colours before. Mandrake looks very professinal on the install with a proper functioning SVGA card. heh Anyways..back to it.

yakkob 0 Posted March 24, 2003 System is running well....apart from the couple of hangs I have had (probably pushing the P166 a bit too hard).. What I am going to try next is to install apache (if it isn't already installed) set up a basic webpage set up some portforwarding on my router and see if I can get to it from outside :x One problem/annoyance I have encountered is the saving of my settings concerning my NIC. Reasons *I think* is because I changed my 10 NIC after the setup to a 10/100. And for whatever reason I have to manually enter my DNS IP into the settings each time. Not a showstopper I know, but annoying. Share this post Link to post
