i'm pritty sure that it does but this isn't looking like any normal installation is it now

so how did it go?

I'd move the disk to another machine, install (using most generic settings I can find) and then insert back. Should boot at least to console mode.

Great to see its working, what did you do?

I downloaded ISO images for Mandrake 9.2 and the md5 was perfect. However, after burning the CD's, I found that I got part way through the install and then it just hung. My clever son made a boot floppy and did a network install for me which did work. My point is that burning the CD's is where my problem occured even though I did everything just as told off web sites similar to this one. Maybe you will find that when you get the CD's you have bought that it will work.

So MI3GTO how did you get it working, you said you would post, i want to know, this sounded like the strangest problem that could ever occur, so what did you do?
