Hey there!

Im new in this linux world. I have only tried HP-UX.

I would like to install Linux Mandrake on my computer and i have downloaded 2 versions. 32Bit and 64Bit.

But i have problems with both of them!

32bit version boots up but all i end up with is a black screen when i have pressed "Enter" to install.

I have also tried vgalo and text versions. But no luck.

Then i tried the 64bit.

This time i get af bit longer. I come to a black screen with a blue bar i top and buttom. With options like "Alt-F1" and so on. And a welcome text i the top bar.

But its like my computer freezes. I can't do anything!

My system specs:

Amd Athlon 64 3200+
1024mb DDR400
Asus K8V-X socket 754
120Gb Maxtor sata
Radeon 9800pro 128mb
Aopen combined Dvd+r/cd-r

Both versions have i tried burning with only 4xspeed to be sure.

MD5 Checksum has been checked with no errors.

Hope anyone have a clue to what i should do!

Best Regards

you didn't say which version of linux you have, so it's going to be difficult to offer any suggestions to help you out. Since you are in the mandrake forum, can I assume you are trying to install a version of Mandrake?

He did say he wanted to install Mandrake and had downloaded both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions...

But I have no idea why it won't let him install. Wish I could help.

I am closing this thread - the one in the Newbie forum is better placed.
