ok here is the list of mirrors for Red Hat its pretty self expanitory: red hat

here is for
mandrake

good luck, oh and if you still cant get it contact your local lug, they might have an install fest where they install it for you. lugs

which computer are you doing this to.
Windows Internet Explorer 4 (98)?
or XP?

98 will be alot easier to do this with than XP.

step 1. backup everything
step 2. burn the iso(s) of your choicce (I suggest mandrake 9.1)
step 3. Verify the md5's
step 4. boot the CD's
step 5. let it configure your hardware
step 6. when you get to the partitioning screen. manually partition it.
step 7. resize the windows partition (FAT32 if 98, NTFS is 2K/XP (red hat can't resize NTFS, mandrake can))
step 8. add an ext3 partition mounted at / leaving 1 gigabyte as space
step 9. add a 1 gig. swap partition
step 10. choose your bootloader
step 11. select what you wan't to install & install it
step 12. enjoy!

those are the 12 steps for setting up a dual boot.

oh alright, im doing this on a 98 first- if it works im doing it on my xp - both computers are seriously diving in performance- are there any system requirements for mandrake 9 1 like you reccomeneded? the blackout surges burnt half of my ram to make matters worse so im gonna have a hard time burning all these iso's. and is mandrake 9 1 very user friendly like knopix?

eaeshamdevil:
i looked at the mandrake link one of you guys posted,. i feel stpuid asking but do i download the i586? or ppc or what i dont understand what that means. im going to install this on a intel win 98 comp 533 mhz, could somone tell me which one i dl?

eaeshamdevil:
alright this is my 3rd straight post , sorry for spamming but i need som'ore help. i went to the mandrake link which had more link's the dl places. im confused , it's not really giving me an ISO to download for mandrake, instead it's many many smaller files. can you plllllleeeeaase explain this to me !
