when i boot mandriva it boots to the console mode by default(black screen). when i was installing mandriva it showed some lib files were missing i skipped them. is the problem due to that???

yeah the windows was showing the iso file as a rar file.

ok just give me a suggestion: i am using kubuntu. I am moving to mandriva (although i like kubuntu) as i read it is good userfriendly linux version. wat do u people say?? does mandriva offer more than kubuntu??

yes i hav downloaded from there itself it had given a rar file. i hav extracted it and wrote that to a cd. it dint work : (

i hav downloaded from both the official site and the other from softpedia . both are rar files. where are iso files available.

i have downloaded mandriva but unable to install it. the downloaded mandriva is a rar file , so i extracted it and written those those files to a cd . but the cd doesnt boot and i hav tried many times some times cd boots and a dos screen appears .
