steve6787 Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Ok, first of all I'm all very new at this. I just installed Mandrake 9.2 yesterday on an old PII 350, with 128MB RAM. Installation was pretty smooth and I'm already starting to get used to it , but my question is Mandrake Move. When I stick the Mandrake Move CD in, it loads up to the press F1 for more options or press Enter to Continue. When I press Enter it comes up and says to please wait, then after about 10-15 seconds, my whole screen goes black and I get nothing. I eventually have to reboot. Although, for a short while there is hard drive and cd rom activity. I have tried pressing F1, but I'm not sure what to do after that point.

steve6787 Posted February 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Ok...nevermind. I just realized (after I finally got it to boot up) what Mandrake Move is intended for. Just goes to show how much of a noob I really am! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralph1976 Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 how long does your startup of mandrake move take? i've been sitting and watching and hitting some keys inbetween, but 15 minutes later still no desktop... is a usb stick explicitly needed or just optional?

steve6787 Posted February 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 (edited) how long does your startup of mandrake move take? It generally takes 5-7 minutes to load. This is running on a PII 350. Its much slower than the regular version, because its loading the OS from the CD. Or at least thats how I understand Mandrake Move works. is a usb stick explicitly needed or just optional? I believe a Usb stick is only needed to save configuration files to.

zombie_geek Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 I have a P3-600 with 256megs of RAM and MandrakeMove boots really quick. I don't have a USB drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xinelo Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 QUOTEis a usb stick explicitly needed or just optional? I believe a Usb stick is only needed to save configuration files to. And I think you can only use it if you have a paying version... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kousik_s Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 On my machine, Move2 (Mandrake 10) takes 4 min to boot. If a USB memory drive is connected at boot up, it is shown in /mnt/windows. If connected after boot up and login, it is shown up as /mnt/removable. Also my Windows XP NTFS drive did not get mounted. I have not been able to mount it since. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
