while i am on my x p computer running big brother bill's window's xp-i have more problems
-----i downloaded mandrake 9.1 ISO - # 1 and # 2
i burnt both of them with NERO (mind you i burnt knoppix with nero 2 days ago and it worked fine_
i tried to insert the mandrake install (1) disk into my windows 98 computer while it boots
the screen pops up where it asks you what you want to do like it's supposed to, BUT then it asks where is the install disk and says that it can't find it in the c d rom drive!
please help and thx for reading

Sounds like a bios problem (Prob. an error in the IDE-code).
*RETRY it a few times. (i had to reboot more than 10 times for Mandrake 9.0, after that it all worked fine...)
*Try an installation from bootdisks with extra PCMCIA support. These images can mostly be found on your first cd. You can use both DOS/windows and Linux for this. In DOS, you can find most in a dir. called dosutils (use rawrite).

That trios hdd selector thing looks expensive and useless. Why bother when there are better cheaper and easier solutions?
And just to clarify Siplus, half life (not wine) should be told to run in open gl, as wine supports open gl programs better than direct x ones.

Corrupt cd's maybe? Try checking the md5 sums of the cds (which I er... do not how to do) and then burn em off real slowly before finalizing them.

thx for your reply but the install disk works on my x p computer but not my 98 computer

OK my bad. Sounds like either the cdrom or BIOS, sorry I can't help more. :( Tried using a different cdrom on the 98 box?
