Ok, i'm completely new to linux, but i'm so sick of windows that i NEED something new and always have plenty of time to kill learning something new, so i decided to try my hand at linux. i'm currently set up with an Asus K7V-RM, AMD 950, 20GB WD hard drive(waiting on a WD 100GB drive to add to system), 320MB ram (waiting on a 512mb stick to bump up to 768mb), soundblaster 16PCI, can't remember my vid card, and philllips CDRW drive. now onto the problem......
i have downloaded CD1 of mandrake 9.1 3 different times (which takes me 3 hours on cable, i'm getting sick of downloading it) and every time i go to install, when it starts reading off the CD it tells me i don't have an installation disk. i had to make a boot floppy disk, even though i went into the bios and set the computer to boot off the CD first, it still won't. anyway...what's wrong with my CD? i don't want to download this thing again to have the same result. any help appreciated so i can move on and then have to ask MORE questions :)
