Hi its me again, sorry for the secon post of the day. I managed to get MDK 9.2 to startup, it took me to the command line. I realised I had not setup my display/video properly after reading around here. So I reinstalled, but when I got to the display section of the install nothing I tried would test okay, it kept saying an error had occured please change a parameter. I have a Saphire Radeon 9600 pro card running on a LG Flatron L1710B flatscreen monitor. Its running through the DVI input output cable. Is the flat screen a problem? Its not listed under vendors so I selected flat screen 1280 x 1024, but this did not help. I see there are three options for the graphics card - radeon, radeon (fbdev) and radeon (fglx). It defaults to the last one. Do I need external drivers? I can use a normal analogue cable between the graphics card and screen if thats the problem? Sorry for being to quizical today, just eager to get up and running. Haggis

Hi I got hold of Mandrake 9.2 as I wanted to give it a try. I have a windows system and had 4 partitions on my hard drive. I deleted everything out of the F: drive for Linux about 10gb of space. Everything went well during the linux installation, it asked me to reboot I did this and selected Linux off the boot loader, it started loading up Linux then it seemed to freeze, I pressed ESC to go to the verbose/text install and it had stopped at the following section: finding module dependencies modprobe: modprobe: insmod pwc <failed> Is this an error with my hardware, or the partitioning I have on my hard drive? Any help will be appreciated before I try and reinstall. Thanks Haggis
