Hi Mikkel
Finally remembered your email and went back and tried the above. I
am in Mandrake after not starting ALSA. It also hung at "starting
sendmail" so delected that too.
Yes I had a problem booting a while back when following some
instructions to attempt to get a USB mouse going. I had the same
problems with the boot stalling at ALSA. I booted with mouse pugged
in and CD1 in and selected "upgrade" Can't remember all details now,
but when got a desktop it was strange - too bigger icons etc and if
the mouse was moved, the area under the cursor seemed to be
obliterated. I rebooted and got the same, noticed the new entry so
booted to that out of curiosity. The new entry had not been there
before. I put the PS2 adapter on the mouse and changed the selection
and it worked. I have been booting to that new numbered entry ever
since - on the rare ocassions I do boot.
When I attempted the first install of Mandrake there was an issue
also - where it said "proceeding, please wait", but nothing
happened. Came to the list for advice had to unplug USB devices to
get it to install.
Wonder if this will be sent seeing as deselected 'sendmail"!

Rosemary,
This give me some things to think about. It will probably be sometime
Monday before I get back to you. Have a happy Easter.
