Alright, I'm really tired of trying to get Linux Mandrake installed. I am on an old-world Mac (7200/90) and I've attempted to install Linux... around 20 times, seriously. First I kept trying LinuxPCC, which didn't go too well. So a friend told me of Mandrake Linux, and in my humble opinion, that's the sweetest distribution around! So I finally got the two ISO's burned. I partitioned my hard drive (one Mac drive, the rest Extra) and installed OS 9.1. Next I go to to install Mandrake using BootX... It won't work!!! The display on the installer is really messed up. I mean, from BootX up to the point of selecting the Mean of Installation, it's fine! As soon as the Mandrake installer comes up though, my screen (17") is insanely distorted with HUGE grey pixels. What's up?! The screen overlaps itself and if I move my mouse to the right, when it hits the edge at right, it'll reappear in the left and keep going right, etc!! Someone please help!! I tried entering "video=platinumfb:vmode:17,cmode:8" in the Kernal Args for BootX, but that doesn't seem to help. I have "No Video Driver" UNCHECKED, and "Force Video Settings" CHECKED. If someone could just help me get this installed, I'd love you forever!!!
