Mandriva 10?? Are you sure? The current version is Mandriva One 2009! If you are indeed trying to install 10 then I suggest you head over to here: Download Mandriva One and install this version instead. |

Ah ok, why are you using the text install? It would be better to see if the live distro actually works on your system by allowing it to load, then install it from the icon on the desktop.

You need a minimum of 512mb to run Mandriva One. Choose a smaller distro. |
