Mandrake not working
Hello everybody!
Yesterday I tried to install Mandrake Linux 9.1, everything went alright, but when I tried to start it, it says "Building Mozilla Registry" and then nothing happens.
I tried again this morning, the same thing happened.
I already tried RedHat and Debian, and this never happened to me!
Please help me

Hello
A few days ago I deleted all my linux partitions, and created them with DiskDrake.
Apparently, the system never stops at the same moment.
Can someone help me?
My computer = Dell Dimension 4550...
