If you're inclined, the first thing I would try is backing up all pertinent data on the Mandrake partition that you need to keep, then reinstalling from scratch. That may solve your problem without upgrading. However, if it was me, I would get Mandrake 8.1 if I was going to reinstall. This is without a doubt the best Linux distro I've tried yet. > Hi all, > > here are some specs. > *Intel Pentium 4 1.8GHz-133 > *Intel 845E Chipset > *512 MB RAM > *80GB IDE HardDrive > *TNT2 – M64 32mb Video Card > > *Linux Mandrake 7.0 > *Linux-kernel 2.2.14 > > *I recently purchased a new PC and installed linux > Mandrake 7.0 using DrakeX.
