I have been having a heck of a time trying to install Mandrake 8b on my
PII with 2 hd's. hda (was) all win, while hdc was all linux. I have tried
with Mandrake 8b and Redhat 7.1b, and get the same ending. It
appears that they do not like to be installed on the second drive
properly. Mandrake 8b will refuse to make a good boot disk, and lilo
wont install correctly. Redhat will work, but only from floppy.
When I installed either one on hda, flawless installation. Is there some-
thing with a newer version of lilo maybe? Mandrake will not set up my
Matrox G450 for nothing, and the version of X4.02 does not give a 450
choice, whereas the Redhat version of X gives a choice #374 is 450.
I know I need to get the driver from Matrox site, and I did try with both
distros. Only Redhat would give me a usable X.
Any insight to this problem appreciated.
