whoa....slow ur role! take a deep breath, this is just the beginin' of a long road to freedom. It would help if u gave more info like what distro of linux, what kind of computer r u usin', seein' a trend ....the more info the better....what type of error when u do an install.

my bad dogg..I didn't pay attention, Anyway...where did u get ur Mandrake 8.0 ? Reason being....If it came out of a magazine..those distro have a habit of actin' funny after install. R u getting ur rpm's from this disk or the net? Drakconf is found in ur kde menu...I can't specify right now cuz I am @ work..... lucky me

or open ur terminal under root and type drakconf.

use rpm from the command line if you did not already and use -vv for incredibly verbose output and use the --test switch

This should give the info you need to help solve the problem.
