In MandrakeControlCentre>System>Services untick the box to stop the harddrake service starting at boot. That should stop it asking to install a package at boot time and will make booting faster. However it will not solve the problem of the CD not being recognised, and if harddrake thinks it needs to install a package, then there is probably some component of your system that has not yet been properly installed. Once you have booted are you able to install packages from your CDs? derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
