Hi, This is the first time i use (well, at least tried to use) linux, so please don't come with too complicated answers ;-).
I own an Apple Macintosh G4/800 (768 megs of Ram, ATI Radeon graphics card) and i just downloaded Mandrake Linux v 8.2. I copied one partition of 5 gb to another, restarted, booted with the "c" key pressed to boot from CD, and i typed "install-radeon". All looked nice and worked fine until i let "diskdrake" automaticly (thought that with "automaticly" nothing could go wrong) partition the free 5 gb. Then it showed this error "No free space for 1MB bootstrap". I thought "Ok, then I'll do it manually", so i made a 250 mb SWAP partition, a linux partition and a bootpartition of 10 mb. Then the install started and finished, but then it came with this error (connected to the bootstrap error I think): Please wait, loading kernel... hd:13,/vmlinuz-2.4.17-17mdk: Unknown or corrupt filesystem boot: After trying many different things, including keeping some free unpartitioned space (I got also errors about installing the bootloader sometimes) i removed my whole drive from my computer and put in an empty old 4 gb drive. I told the installer to format the entire HD and then automaticly partition it, and then again: "No free space for 1MB bootstrap" !! So again i set up the partitions manually, 1 linux, 1 swap, 1 boot, and then it installed, after restart exact the same error as mentioned above (Unknown or corrupt filesystem)!! So i tried installing another 5 times with all different partition methods, no result... Can anyone please tell me what i do wrong? -Leendert PS: This is also the first time I use a mailing list...
