Hi there. Last night I tried to install Mandrake on a clean hard drive, 13 gigs, I got to select packages, after selecting the packages I wanted to install, I continued the installation process. It seemed to be loading the packages fine, but it was taking forever so I left it to finish the installation of the packages and I figured when I got up this morning I could finish the installation by configuring the rest of L-M. Well, when I got up the machine had frozen, it seems, in the middle of the package installation. It asked for me to press any button to continue, I did,and it rebooted and began the installation process from the beginning again.... Has this happened to anyone else? And, if so, what did you do to correctly install it?
