my name says it all please help me
insomnia:
Normal PC = x86
Mandrake 9.1 needs an i586(=pentium or something like that)
Siplus:
well, i can't help you much with mandrake, i'm a redhat fan. both distros seem to be a lot alike (maybe because mandrake was derived from an early redhat distro back a few years).
i assume the system requirements would be the same, but here is what's on the RH9 box (yes, i bought it...worth donating money to the company for)
CPU
cli: 200mhz
gui: 400mhz
HD
smallest install: 475MB
largets install: 5GB
Memory
cli: 64MB
gui: 128MB (i suggest 256 if you plan on using gnome or kde)
hope that helps. if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, people here are very helpful.
they helped me back when i started a year ago

If you really want Mandrake (I, like Siplus, recommend Redhat... I tried Mandrake, didn't particularly care for it.), go to the download page ( http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/ftp.php3 ) And click whatever applies, I'm assuming the second button. On the page that follows (I can't seem to link straight to it, sorry) There is a "ISO" link ("Mandrake 9.1/i586 ISO Image"), which brings you further down on the same page to a section of mirrors with ISO images. That should do it.
