[newbie] Install Problems

[Matthew Clegg]

I'm completely new to Linux and am having difficulties with the Mandrake
install program. When it gets to the point where it is supposed to test
X no window appears and the install program does not go back to the
previous step after a period of time as the manual says it will. I have
tried several different resolutions all with the same result so I don't
think that is the problem. I am running a Mitsubishi 15fs monitor and a
S3 Trio32/64 PCI, and would appreciate any help or links to sites that
may help.
