boss picanin,,, a few Q`s for the expert!!
were did you get your Mandrake from and how much did it cost you?
are you able to network a xp and a linux compters on a home network using a crossover?
what about a shared internet conection?
and when it comes to comps i know basics but that is about it!
If it helps I bought my copy of Linux Mandrake 10 on eBay for a princely sum of "25p" plus P&P. It came in three discs, unfortunately disc three was faulty. Another replacement disc three is being sent to me by the vendor. So all should be OK. I was still able to install the system from the two available discs and it's working perfectly. I now run a Dual Boot system with it side by side with Window$. I'm surfing the net with Linux Mandrake 10 now.
For your information there is a copy of the latest Mandrake on the current August Edition of Computer Shopper magazine, the "DVD Edition" only and not the CD-Rom edtition. It is a standalone bootable disk, as I understand it, so you can try it out without having to touch your systems configuration at all. If you like it you can get the real thing and install it properly.
I'm still on a steep learning curve but then I've waited this long and I'm in no hurry. I'm just going to enjoy it. Just getting rid of the Blue Screen of Death is something to celebrate about if nothing else.
Why not give it a whirl.
