I tried google, and couldnt find anything and im officially frustrated...

I installed the latest mandriva on a amd64 3200+.........

First problem i ran into was mandriva wouldnt partition my hardrive right i kept getting a "no hdlist found" error......after a million try's somehow it installed.......

I was really impressed with how fast it was , ive tried a few other destributions but this was the fastest with kde......

The problem i cant connect to the internet, actually it wont stay connected, sometimes i can stay connected for a few seconds and they it stops......

My netword card is a Realtek rtl8139.....

Im not very expierinced with linux and i really dont know what im doing over here......


also after trying to connect to the internet , after i press the repair button or something like that my linux starts to freeze and i cant launch anything......

I have comcast cable and a rca cable modem...

Okay, if you are using KDE open the contol panel and check your settings for the internet, and make sure everything is ok.

I did , tried a million times, im still a newb with linux but everything seemed okay......I just deleted mandriva, and switched to fedora 4....Im much happier with it.......had no problems other than mounting the windows partition, it was a pain in the ass but i got it to work...
