Installing Mandrake 9.2

Psion

I'm trying to install Mandrake 9. 2 on my laptop. I have already tried a CD bootable version of Knoppix and all seemed ok. However, when I'm installing Mandrake, I get to the 'Install system' section and about 1/3 of the way through, my system just hangs.

grantmoore3d

Ok, I know there are lots of webpages on this subject, but I just want to make sure of things first before I get doing it. Cause Im fairly new at doing dual booting. What I want to do is install windows xp on one partition and linux on the other partition.

frederick

I have just recently gotten my hands on Redhat Linux 9. I have used Microsoft systems on every computer I've had, so I'm more than a bit lost when it comes to Linux. I installed it on my AMD k6-2 450 PC, with an onboard Trident Cyberblade AGP video card.

Package explanation

roberta

Could some helpful soul direct me to a site where we can obtain the meanings (that flash off the screen) when downloading our Linux packages. It would be most helpful for beginners such as myself to be able to know what “Swig” or “olwm” means.

Mepis - Heavy Weight Contender for Mandrake

TrakerJon

Seldom do I see a distribution that has it all for the workstation user like Mepis. I've been testing out quite a few live CD's lately (mainly because I don't have a computer at work that I can install linux on without the boss telling me it's a non-standard OS) fortunately I ran across Mepis.
