To whom may be concerned, I' ve just downloaded the release 7.0 beta and so I've tried to install it. But.... This is my hardware configuration: Intel pentium II 350 MHz 96 MB Ram Sis 6326 (video-board) Philips 107 MB (monitor) Adaptec AVA-2904 SCSI adapter with 2 CD connected The installation begins in text mode (like release 6.1) but with very ugly colors...(it's not important for me). When the prompt asks me where are locared the installation files and I select CDROM driver (are there), the installation program is not able to mount CDROM file system and the program is stalled until I press crtl+c. After I press ctrl+c the installtion program displays Kernel Panic Can't mount file system of ... device. I hope that my report is helpfully to improve the Mandrake 7.0 distribution.
