I have just purchased an Acer Aspire 1355 laptop and my problem is that I can't get mandrake to install on it. I have tried 9.0, 9.2, 10ce and 10 full and none of them will install either from cd or dvd internal or external roms.
I get the initial screen where it says "f1 for options or enter to install" then it scrolls through the hardware pc bus ide bus etc then it starts the next screen "loading into memory", this is where it stops, the cd drive stops and just sits there.
I have also tried fedora and the screen goes all weird and you can't read it.
Does anybody have any experience with this or any suggestions?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers, Junglejuice
