FYI
On 03-09-2000 I installed Linux-Mandrake 7.1 on a Seagate model ST310212A
10Gb. Un-partition, unformat, I have IDE0, IDE1 two harddisk controllers. I
switched off IDE1, boot from Win95B bootdisk with cdrom support, cdrom
detected as C:\, from the L-M 7.1 cdrom called
\dosutils\autoboot\mdkinst\cdrom.bat, chose automated install, error
message : can't read partition table, press [OK], chose auto allocate,
continue to complete installation.
L-M 7.1 detected. floppy drive and zip100, but not soundcard and modem,
system still working as at 02-11-2000. HTH
