I'm having serious problems installing Mandrake 8.0. The computer is a
basic pentium III with no strange hardware - all pretty basic, but I
continually get the following error.

during the install boot - from CD or floppy I get

Loading Program into memory
[...............................................................................]

> Error! Could not uncompress second stage ramdisk.
 (Press <enter> to proceed)

it continues to load and then after the partitioning (using recommended
partitioning or various other partition schemes) I get

Looking for available packages

An Error Occurred
nothing found while parsing /mnt/var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.CD 1 Installation
CD
(x86) (cdrom1).cz.

Is this a badly burnt CD or a memory problem (I remember using a mem=
line for other installs before - this machine has 128MB in one slot)??
Or is this something else I've missed.

TIA
Richard McElroy
