Hurray I finally got linux running. So... i read all your tips, and i still cant get to add any packages etc without completely reinstalling. Allwyas gives me this bull about not having the right cd in the drive. So when ever i have to install software or packages, its complete reinstall for me, joy. Other then that Im suprised, sure linux aint as great as everyone claims, but its nice, and runs suprisingly well on my older computer.

Have you tried browsing the CD and double clicking on an RPM?

That doesnt sound at all like you finally got it running.

Ok so technically i got it limping. I'm thinking of saying screw mandrake and going to try redhat, though its a pain in the ass to have to download 3 cds again.
Cd1 of my mandrake distro always seems to have errors when installing stuff. I even re downloaded and reburned it and its still bad, so im just gonna have to go with a different distro of linux.
Gentoo or redhat seem like good choices. I dont really see a difference between the different types anyway personally..
