I downloaded the cooker ISO and installed from that. Here are the issues that I had:
1) In the initial splash screen, the user is prompted to press enter to continue or F1 for more
options. Pressing Enter locks the system. Pressing F1 followed by Enter allows the user to proceed
normally. I had this same problem with Mandrake 7.2
2) At the "How do you want to connect to the Internet?" prompt I select "Configure a DSL (or ADSL) connection."
I get an error message saying "An error occurred Not an ARRAY reference." Selecting the cable installation option
allowed me to proceed and apparently succeed (even though I have DSL) since I was able to use Mozilla to
browse the internet.
3) In the expert installation at the point that it asks for boot options, moving the mouse to hover over
originally selected options opens a small window which gives a brief description of the options function.
Placing the cursor over unselected (or manually selected items which were not originally selected) does
not produce the description window.
4) After installation completes and I reboot, my mouse does not work at the log in screen even though it
worked during the installation. When I select my mouse during the install, a screen is displayed which
tests the mouse action and it seems to work. Following the reboot, the mouse does not seem to have any
effect. I still have not gotten the mouse to work. Any help would be appreciated.
5) While trying to fix the mouse problem, I logged in as root and tried to use DrakConf to configure
the mouse. I was able to open the Mandrake Control Center and highlight the Hardware option, but
was unable to expand the selection using the keyboard. It would be useful to allow a complete navagation of this
program without requiring a mouse.

400MHZ AMD-K6
