smileeb Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Have dual boot, WinXP and Man 9.1. Computer boots to either one. Man9.1 doesn't get to internet, see my usb printer, harddrive, burner. Wish there was better instructions in the manual. WinXP has books and manuals that are thicker than a big city phone book and walk you through problems. I have not seen any for Mandrake. Very disappointed in their claim to easy install. If it was the only operating system on the computer, the computer would be useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Welcome to the MUsb ! Buddy, you have come to the right place for knowledge. There is plenty of documentation that comes on the disks, but first you got to find them (they are called man docs) and second they can be a bit hard to understand ;) I would suggest beginning with our FAQ forum here (link in my sig below). Lots of good stuff there. Anything else you would like to know, just ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 I had xp and 9.1 dual boot, no problems. usb devices take some configuration sometimes. Remember, usb was a microblast brain child, and any other operating system is invading enemy territory when accessing it. That means that other os's, including linux, must "figure it out." If ms had their way, they would try to prevent other os's from utilizing usb!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobGuy© Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Man9.1 doesn't get to internet, Now do you want to 'get to the internet'? Or just inform us that 'If it was the only operating system on the computer, the computer would be useless.'? If you want to use the internet it might help if we knew what you are using, dial-up, DSL, cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
