I am trying to install Mandrake 9.0. Here is my specs: ep-3vwm otherboard via cyrix iii processor 32 mb ram 40 gb hdd dvd cdr/w floppy onboard sound on board vt8601 via tech graphics. i get to install packages and select them. I press install and it begins, then it says: "problem installing package xfree86........ continue anyway? Please can someone help me? I am a newbie to Linux and have not yet been able to use a Linux system. I gave in on Debian too complicated! lol nb, i have tried the patch for via c 3's from mandrake web site and it gives me this: I tried that this morning. For some reason I get to the install first screen which tells me to press either f1 or enter. after this it runs throu a search of my pc and freezes at the following lines: IDE 0 at 0x1F0-01F7, 0x3F6 on irq 14 IDE 0 at 0x1F0-01F7, 0x3F6 on irq 15 it will not let me any further. So i now cant eben get to install screens. Any ideas?
