[olug] Mandriva 10.1 install

[Nate]

K.J.Kirwan.
I have had this problem with certain distros before but I have also had 
success too ... for instance the puter I'm trying to put this on has 
Mandrake 10.0 on it.  I have had in the past certain distros of Red had 
and Suse.. I have never had success with any Debian and have had 
problems with both Red Hat and Mandrake also but I usually have no 
problem. 
I'm basicly a 6 year old NEW user because I don't use it enough to 
become familiar enough with it.

the computers I have are all 3 running XP.  The one I'm trying to put it 
on is however a 300 mhz DIT special about 4 years old but works fine 
having had a 15 gig partition with XP and a 15 gig partition with 
Mandrake 10. 

I actually suspect that I have done something wrong in the download of 
the 3 disks.  I downloaded them with a 2.8 ghz Del machine.  I burned 
them with a software called Sonic which came with the Del machine which 
is 2 weeks old or less.

Thank you for the reply ,
Nate
