I installed Mandrake 8.2 with Xfree on this system with no problems. I checked the md5 sums and they are correct.
The only thing I can think of is that Via C3 CPUs don't like i686 optimization. They need to use i586. The error message pops up during the installation of the Xfree rpm. If I switch to console I see the error is "bad package". This system runs great on 8.2 Also someone else on the cooker list is having the same problem with a VIA "eden" system. It has the VIA C3 CPU integrated into the motherboard. Its a Mini-It size board. They can run fanless (really quiet). I think the "Eden" system uses a trident video chipset. Go to viaarena.com for more info on VIA C3 CPUs.
