Hello friends,
Hi!
I am facing a problem with my Linux Mandrake 7.2 installation.I have got a
laptop with 20gb harddisk and windows ME installed on it.I wanted to install
linux using the Linx4win.My comp doesnt boot from the CD so I made a boot
floppy.When I start installing LINUX on the comp....I get three options:1.to
erase the entire disk(which i dont want to do)2.use the free space for the
installation(i want to do this) 3.expert mode(i am not an expert)..
I want to go do the second option.when I do that it shows that there is some
error in partiting(i have a single C drive on which I have windows ME)
Can u help me on this!
bye

Alright, thanks for the help guys, I am now able to get into the
desktop. I used XFdrake, and was able to access the desktop. The only
problem is, I can only use it in 256 colors! Whats up with that? All
the other settings don't work! I really don't want to be stuck with
only 256. Is there anything I missed here?
I have a ATI Mach64GX video card. All the settings are available, and
I can choose them, but all I can get to work is 256. I know my card
is capable of doing more than that, I have it set to 24bit here in
(yuck) Window$ and it works flawlessly. Soon, I will stop bugging you
guys with questions :)
So am I outta luck? Or is there something I can do?
Oh ya, also when I boot Mandrake, I get a bug error right away, and
all my icons disappear!!! Hmmm
Thanks,
James
