I think that I may have it. Did you create the partition for Linux using PartitionMagic? And if so, did you create the partition as a primary or logical partition? Are you using Grub as your bootloader? If not, what bootloader? You may want to take a look at.

Connecting to the internet

BBop
I am new with using Linux. I just installed Mandrake 10 with VMware and when I try to use Konqueror there is no IP address and there is no connection. What do I need to do to get a connection? Windows XP is running in the background and the connection is open for shared connections.

Urgh The worst thing about Linux is you spend your life trying to read documentation and afterwards you STILL feel clueless. I'm having problems with getting sound on Skype. After a LONG session till well past midnight, I managed to get Skype for Linux working ( ) but it is the version with Qt compiled in.

javajoe
I have finally decided to experiment with linux. I now have an intel processor with hyper threading and windows 2000 doesn't support it. I don't like microsatan windows xp so now seems like a good time to do this.
