Alright, here's the deal: I tried installing Mandrake 10 Community on my laptop this weekend, and the installation goes fine-and-dandy up until it has to install the drivers for firewalls and such -- then it just hangs there until I am forced to restart. I've attempted a low-graphical install, text install, and virtually everything else suggested by using [F1], so I'm at a loss here. Any and all help would be greatly appriciated. Alas, I don't know my system info as I sort of... uh... deleted Windows XP Pro by accident -- and not because I just blatantly tried to get Mandrake over XP Pro, but because I decided that, since I am clearly a smart individual, I'd install from boot-up and forget to install via the Windows OS and reboot with the two OSes installed. I am smart, indeed. Soooo, I am now stuck with an OS that hangs before it can even install, or no OS at all. Great! Well, it's a good learning experience to say the least. Heh.
