Hi Again
I went ahead and installed mandrake 9 again and this is what it gave
There was an error installing packages!
X free 86-4.2.1-3mdk.i586
Go on anyway
[yes] [no]
I selected yes this was the only error on disk 1
Disk 2
There was an error installing packages!
Dhcpcd –1.3.22.pl1-3mdk.i586
Go on anyway
[yes] [no]
after the installation when it was initialing the boot portion
this is what it said
an error occurred
mkinitrd failed
it ask me where to put the boot loader
I try all of them but it does not work
These are the same errors it gave me before
To day I tried something new after going to the mainboard's website I saw a bios page
there was updates for my bios a risk task to do I know but nothing went wrong. in windows 98. (that is what I have now on my computer)

However after installing linux I
saw more errors
mpage-2.5.2-1mdk.i586
foomatic-2.0-o.200209131
and some more
So I was wondering if you know where there is a bios file that I can install into my bios that it may work
I have a fr33VIA 1st mainboard:
Note: mandrake 8.1 installed fine when I installed it several days ago trying to update it with Mandrake 9
Did not try to install it today no need to at least I think so.
