Hello,

Today, I solved a problem I had with a monitor that couldent start setup because it was "out of range" so I switch to a more beefy monitor and its no longer out of range. So setup starts fine, detects USB's and such then it gets to a blank screen and says, "Proceeding, please wait" I gave it about 5 minutes, (maybe I should show more patience? ) and it dident do anything. I'm just not having much luck here! Possibly it dident burn well to the CD?
Welp, if anyone can help me out here I would greatly appreciate it!

I think I may try it again and give it some more time..
If that doesent work maybe I should try to burn the ISO again..

With Metta,
Tristan

Chuck it on the barby

Yummy, Mandriva on the BBQ!
So there is no hope for mandriva on my PC eh? We'll then maybe I should consider another Linux?

Thanks anyways.

Nah just being flippant
Sounds like the disc could be corrupt , I would get another by d/l or magazine DVD and retry.
I dont follow what you mean by setup. Mandriva installs from a DVD on my machine and goes immediately into a screen menu which tells you where you are at.
Perhaps also you have a memory problem .I would put a finger on top of the memory chip or chips and wiggle to ensure they are seated properly and if left for a few months the contacts might be getting corrosion problems . I have 90% humidity nearly all the time so its a factor here

Mandriva loads up the memory with the boot program and if it cant do this it will hang I suppose
