keep getting an error message
ok i am new at mandrake and i run an antholon xp 1900 mhz processor with a 64mb nvidia agp video card on a 30 gig hard drive.
i downloaded the iso and burned it at 4x speed
but every time i boot it up i press enter and i get an error message saying "fatal error finishing initialization"
if i press alt+f3 i get on the last few codes or sentences or what ever "succeded isofs found mandrake linux cdrom, good news
total memory 512 mbytes
trying to load /sys/tmp/image/install/stage2/mdkinst_stage2.bz2 as ramdisk
mounting /dev/ram 3 on /sys root/tmp/stage2 as type ext2
fopen (stage1.c:3831) failed: I/O error
unsetting automatic"
and when i press alt+f4 i get on the very last thingy
"checktime reached, running e2fsck is recommended."
i was told linux was a really good o/s but installing it is frustrating
