AussieJohn Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 (edited) A hearty big welcome to MUB. You can get it from here :- http://www.mandriva.com/en/download/free You should not be having anything to do rar at this stage. Where did you get it ???. Check your ISP, they just might have it as an available Download. Here in Australia, our main ISP, Telstra Bigpond has it for ADSL users and it doesn't count in the monthly download limits. Your ISP may also do the same. What you download should be an ISO and is not to be unpacked. It must be burnt as an ISO and do it at the lowest possible speed for best results. Cheers. John.

scarecrow Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 (edited) Welcome sovy, Your download should be fine. But: DO-NOT-OPEN-IT-WITH-WINRAR Just burn it as image from your favorite windoze application ( suggesting IMGBURN which burns and verifies ISO images just fine). And you shouldn't try installing it from windoze. Put the DVD in the drive, and reboot. Edited June 10, 2007 by scarecrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
