HI,

I am new in Linux and have some problem during my first installation of it.

I wanted to install Mandrake 10.1 official into my laptop, however, there are some error message pop up when the installation run.

After the welcome page, I hit the enter button to start installation but it come out with a message of could not open compresses ramdisk file {/sysroot/tmp/image/install/stage2/mdkinstage2.bz2}


what is that error message means ? I don't have any idea. Ramdisk?
Is that indicate that the file doesn't exist in my CD ??

Hope for further assistance..

Thank you.

Regards,
Billy

try with a different 1st Cd

this CD seems corrupted
also try after cleaning the disc

regards

the unable to detect the files means that the file in the CD corrupted ? but i have run cd verification after burning ...

Okay nevermind .. i will try to download a new fresh iso.

tell you the result ... i just scared that my computer can't support ...
By the way, do i need to do hard disk partition first before the installation ?

thanks.

Regards,
Billy

u need a partition where u can put linux

u can make that during installation also if u choose exppert mode in partitioning during installation

it is always better u leave a partition so that during installtion u are not confused
