Thanks for your answer :) "...software 'perl' terminated the installation for the reason that my system or whatever was not in 'english' mode...very peculiar..." I had the same problem. What I did: I formatted again Linux partitions and I accepted the size that appeared in /swap partition window (250MB). I believe that it was the swap partition too small (I choosed 128MB before) the cause of the problem. Of course you have to try at your account and risk... ;) I just have three Linux partitions: /boot, / and /swap Bye kakuako Hello: this is what I found out re LM 7.0 Air. If u use 'recommended' it won't ask u whether u want to install LILO or not. If u use 'custom', it will ask u where to put LILO (MBR or first partition) and if u use 'Expert' then it will ask u if you want LILO or not. And ur right, that's not in the manual. The manual only give the 'recommended' installation. you should go to the linux-mandrake website and see the Demos for 'custom' and 'expert'. in my case, my linux boot disk won't work. I have tried reinstalling LM and suddenly during installing of the software 'perl' terminated the installation for the reason that my system or whatever was not in 'english' mode...very peculiar. so at this point I can still boot to Windows but my Linux is dead because it partitioned and formatted my 2nd HD already and terminated the installation before I can input the root password. And there was a very comforting message after it terminated the installation 'you can safely reboot your computer now'. Yup, I can reboot alright but Linux is dead. Good luck. edison __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos -- now, 100 FREE prints! http://photos.yahoo.com
