mandrake 7.2 and XP

logout · 10-17-2001, 09:17 AM

I,ve been trying to get mandrake 7.2 to be able to boot winXP
but i cant seem to get it to work.

I've been using slackware 7.1 and XP with no problem, i like
mandrake and would like to keep it but i need XP to.

mandrake is way diffrent than slackware in many aspects

any help would be great
thanks in advance

This is odd...

Why wouldn't Mandrake work just like Slack does??

Okay, time for you to print out your /etc/lilo.conf and your /etc/fstab files.

The Reader's Digest version is that there shouldn't be any difference between the two.

So what is different?

You can always give these guys a try -- good looking stuff, but I haven't had an opportunity to try it out:
