We get an awful lot of posts like yours on "10." Do a search here on "Mandrake 10 install", and you should have an array of information on this problem. Personally, my advice is to go to Fedora Core 1. Good Luck!

Or better yet get a copy of Mepis

You'll have a much better chance of success and be happier in the long run. SimpllyMepis is in rc2 and nothing compares.

Don't listen to Jim, he's drunk!

Seriously, Mepis is good and has good hardware detection. Apart from Knoppix, it's probably the most user friendly Debian spinoff there is out there.

Says the pot

Knoppix is fine as a bootable CD, but, less than satisfactory for HD install. Not fully compatable with Debian standard or the repositories. Mepis is fully compatible with unstable Debian.
