Just had the bright idea to check the md5sum lol, completely out so redownloading. only 3hours left! lol

I tried installing mandrake 9.2 several times, and each time when its installing it gets to 2mins left and it just stops. The slides dont keep going either its like its frozen, but i can still move the mouse. Any ideas?

Oh, right. I always assumed that it was just the bootloader that was put on the floppy, thats why ive been so confused! so during install it lets you choose just the bootloader on the floppy?

I want a boot floppy because I want my box to boot into windowsxp unless i have the disk in. please someone give me a step by step guide on how to have a boot floppy, either with 9.1 or 9.2.

I only have onboard sound SiS 7018. Also I NEED a boot floppy. And everyone says that Mandrake 9.2 cant make a standard boot floppy during install as it wont fit on a disk (?!? do they actually test the releases before making them public LOL )

what i mean is that 9.2 wont even be able to make a boot floppy :P and has problems with onboard sound :) etc etc etc etc etc also my belkin adapter isnt that new i think its a year or more old.

Hiya thanks for the reply. 9.1 isnt available on their download page?

Hiya guys. After glancing through these forums seeing the major probs with 9.2, im going to download 9.1. How many cd's will i need for the default install, with all the needed c compilers etc to be able to install programs from tar.gz files? Also will it work properly with onboard (SiS) sound? Also can i have a n00bs play-by-play to make mandrake mount my ntfs c drive every time i boot and have a c icon on my desktop? I mean real n00bs, like go to this directory, then this one, then edit this file.. etc. Also, will a Belkin F5d6050 Wireless Adapter work out of the box in 9.1 as it does in 9.2? (uses atmel chipset...so possibly includes the atmel driver?) thanks EDIT: Linuxiso.org doesnt seem to have 9.1 links up anymore. Anyone got a good link? On 9.2 when i went to download in download accelerator plus it came up with a whole list of mirrors, anyone got links that does that? thanks
