I have tried to install Mandrake 6, as I bought the pack a long while ago. This came with a boot disk, as the laptop won't boot cdroms. Once install completes, reboot fails when init trys to optimize disk hda. The laptop only has 8mb ram (above info incorrect). When I swop the disk into another laptop, P120 (8meg) rather than dx4 100, all is OK. What do you guys think could be the most likely reason. The P120 laptop is borrowed so I do not have it forever. The P120 has CD and the dx4 does not, so I install on P120 and then swap disks. I would install an older linux distro but how do I create a boot disk when I only have the distro CD? Dave
