Hello all,
Maybe this should be in the Installation area, but I'm so "new" I don't even know that...
Anywho, I downloaded the newest Mandrake 8.0 ISO files and burned them to CD.
I have an old 233AMD system with 2ea-6gig HDs and 128meg of RAM. My objective was to create my first Linux box to learn Linux. I do not want a dual boot machine, just Linux.
I booted to the install CD, it went through its setup routine, up to the "Choose packages to install" area.
I then get an error message of:
"An error occured missing basesystem package"
With only and OK button, it then starts the process over again??? Looking for packages, and then the error message??
I can't get past it?? Unless I click Exit Install, which gives me a "Idconfig failed" message?
And an OK button, which if I select the OK button the whole process starts over again...
HELP...
BTW I got some strange messages during the "setup File System" and "Format partitions" selections, but I think I have that remedy??
Thanks all...
