* I am unable to select packages -- the list of packages simply never appears.
* Sometimes not all text will fit on my screen, due to the screen mode the installation appears to have selected.
* Sometimes it fails to refresh all text on my screen, as residue from older menus is sometimes visible.
* After having selected a monitor, or an "X server" as the text says (my precise model does not exist), and testing the configuration, I get an error message along the lines of: "(EE): No device found". Selecting a different monitor does not appear to work. At the bottom of the screen there was some error message about localhost. My guess is that it's trying to connect to the X server which either did not run properly, or quit immediately because of some other error.
So this time I came significantly further in the installation but in the end it failed anyway. Frustrating...

Hello all,
I am having some installation difficulties with Mandrake 9.
The first time, the problem occured after I had selected and prepared the partitions. It was about to write the partition table to disk when the mouse pointer stopped working and the computer hanged. I patiently waited for a while but after about a minute I rebooted.
I then tried once again, this time also explicitly formatting the partitions I selected. Right when I clicked "Done", it locked up again.
The machine is reasonably new. AMD Athlon XP 1800, 512 MB RAM, NVidia GeForce 4 TI4400 video card, Sound Blaster Audigy.
Any ideas?
Best Regards,
Robert Bj�rn
