I just installed Mandrake 10.0 but the monitor I have is not in the list. I have a Samsung Syncmaster 151s LCD monitor. There are other Syncmasters to choose, but I don't know which one is compatible with mine. Any idea's?

Thanks all of you for the suggestions, but this one worked right away :)

In mandrake 9.1 everything but my soundcard is running now. When I play a wave, I can 'see' it playing in the media-player, but it makes no sound at all! I just runned sndconfig from root and it detected my SB Live! correctly. Then it said: "PCI Creative Labs | SB Live! currently not supported." I am surprised, because it is a well known card :o Is there a way to get it working?

I downloaded 10 but during install it hanged. After rebooting (only option) I tried again with same result. Booting again and choosed 'upgrade' this time. Now it reported an error in KDEArtwork but was able to finish the installation. I 've read about at least 4 people who reported the same error overhere, so I assume something went wrong when Mandrake made that image... :unsure: I did not trust the installation anymore and decided to use Mandrake 9.1.

It is not about burning the CD; the image itself is the problem. I have read about at least four others with the same problem. I simply think they made a mistake with making the image. I got that problem too and I worked around it by installing it until the moment it hangs. Than I start over, but choose upgrade. This time it goes pass the point where it hanged the last time, but it reports an error in the file 'kdeartwork-3.2mdk.i586' . You can resume installing after that, although you miss that file. There was a moment I thought I fixed it by uninstalling my USB-mouse, but I was forgotten that I did the upgrade rather than the install. In the upgrade it always will finish the install (although with error-message about the missng file).

Do you use a USB mouse? With full install that caused problems hanging the install and when I started over I choosed upgrade and it generated the same error you got. Problem was solved after using a normal mouse.

No need to re-download CD 2: I just read in another topic that freezing during install is caused if you have an USB-mouse. I have an USB-mouse, causing the problem.

I just read in another topic that freezing during install is caused if you have an USB-mouse, so try again with another mouse. I have an USB-mouse as well, causing the problem.

I have the same, see my topic. I got it installed by running upgrade rather than install when trying again. Still it gives an error in KDEartwork-3.2MDK.i586, but you can go on installing after it. Did you read my topic about it? http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=15260

Thanks for your help :) I did not know how to run md5run-checksum program, because at that moment I did not have linux running. So I skipped that step. I am still a beginner at linux (some years ago I used suse-linux 6.0 for a few weeks, but that is not enough to call myself experienced, very much not! :D ) and I need to learn about everything, from the commands to the directory structure. So if I wanted to run the checksum now I don't know how to do that .... So for that reason I will download CD 2 again. My ADSL problem still not solved and after reading some topics about it, I think I cannot get it right by just following the linux-installer. I need the SpeedTouch-USB-howto, is that right?

Problem somehow solved I decided to re-install it on the current partition and it now finished installation. Only thing is the errormessage "error in KDEArtwork-3.2mdk.i586" Sofar I can't run speedtouch-ADSL because of missing alcaudsl.sys. It copied it from my windows but now it asks for mgmt.o, so I am still trying to solve that problem.

Okay, maybe this is interesting info: The system hangs when displaying this two sentences: Installing package aspell-en English file for aspell Does that help? :unsure:

Please... nobody? I am still stuck :o Any suggestion may help me...

I tried to install the download version of Mandrake 10.0, but in the middle of installing the programs it hanged. During the partition process I selected an empty partition of 20 GB large. Then I let the installer do automatic partitioning in that 20 gb partition. The system hanged just after the CD#2 was asked (when installing the programs). It just did copying something and than the CD-drive stopped and the system hanged. Maybe the following message has something to do with the problem: During install it said: "the download version does not include some modems like certain ADSL and RTC. Also it may not work with certain NVidia and ATI-video cards." I have a geforce ti 4200 video card, using NVidia drivers AND I have an ADSL modem: speedtouch USB modem, to be precise. Maybe that caused the crash? To inform you guys about my system, below is a partional dump of DX-diag.

Okay, very clear! I am about to start burning the ISO's now. Never worked with Mandrake before and if all my questions are answered this clear, I am sure I will not have too many problems :)

Ah like SFV-checker in windows? Checksumming the files? Thank you.

Hi, As a newcomer for Mandrake (used Suse 6.0 years ago for a short period) I decided to download the three ISO's for this distrbution: But I am puzzled about a fourth file there was to download: Mandrake10.0-official-download.md5.asc What am I supposed to do with this file
