Thanks! :)

I recently purchased an Acer Aspire 5100-5022 notebook with the AMD Turion 64x2 processor and ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 video chipset, and am looking for a Linux distro that will run on that machine. Will Mandriva 2007 run on this machine? Does Mandrive 2007 come with the drivers for the ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 chipset, or will I have to download and install them from somewhere? I've used Mandriva in the past, and loved it, and want to dual boot the new notebook with XP Media Edition and a Linux distro, preferrably Mandriva if possible.

Thanks! I'll give this a try!

I am presently dual-booting WindowsXP and a Linux distro. Can I remove WindowsXP from its partition and install another Linux Distro in its place, and if so, will that distro detect the Linux on the other partition and set up the boot menu accordingly?

Thanks!

Did you read the "README" file after untarring? The "README" file contains installation instructions. Not all tarballs require ./configure, make, make install. Some just require you to ./filename or do a sh filename .sh to run the application. If I'm missing something here, someone please go ahead and elaborate, as it is very late and I am sleepy and may not be explaining this as well as I should.

I am using Mandriva 2006 PowerPak edition and am wanting to upgrade KDE to KDE 3.5. How do I do this? I've upgraded GNOME to 2.12 successfully, but not sure how to upgrade KDE to 3.5. [moved from Installing Mandriva by spinynorman]

When I do a urpmi --auto-select --auto I get the following: medium "The Ultimate Linux Desktop DVD (cdrom1)" is not selected How do I fix this?
