Odd

Well, all I can suggest is to try one of the other burning progs in that readme.

Wondering if there&#39;s anything I should check/uncheck in Nero before burning my Mandrake Move iso I downloaded?

Yes. Finalize and select disc-at-once. Maybe disc-at-once/96. I remember burning a few coasters with track-at-once.

Ok.... the file name is MandrakeMove-i586.iso

I assume that i586 is some kind of Standard? I&#39;m gonna try burning Mandrake today and testing it at the university.

Thanks for the proggie, shn, I&#39;ll get onto that [/b][/quote]
i586 is the architecture of most modern machines. i586 and i686.

Older ones are i386 and so on.

Still, my Mandrake Move CD isn&#39;t booting

Nero and Alcohol. IsoRecorder didn&#39;t recognize a blank Cd (the hell....)

what would be a good linux version for a shitty laptop P2, 192 RAM, 333 mhtz. I tried installing Mandrake beta 10, didn&#39;t work. I got passed the main load screen than just a blank screen. How&#39;s Lindows for laptop? Any suggestions.

Lots and lots of manual configuration............But its worth it once you get em up and running.

Dont plan on having a gui right after installation. 99% of the time youll have to configure all that yourself, among other things.

Hope you like spitting out commands at a black screen
