Hello I am attempting to instal Linux mandrake onto a 486DX 100mghz. I
low level formatted both brains(c and D) and everything started out fine.
On little light number three, i got an error message that it can't open
/proc/bus/pci/devices. Now this computer had win3.1, win 95, and i even
had win 98 on it(though slow). what can I do. This was a download linux
Maandrake from one of my computer literate coworkers. I however am a
NEWBIE to it all.Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks Luke
