Hi all,
Whilst helping a friend install mandrake 8.2 we ran into a problem I have
never come up against, maybe some of you have.
On booting from the CD Rom and pressing the enter key, instead of going into
second stage install and loading the main installation dialogue screen the
monitor goes blank and after about 20 seconds both the CD and the hard drive
stop.  In other words on pressing enter at the initial welcome screen
everything stops.
Has anyone had a similar experience or any thoughts on what may be the
problem and how to fix it.
His PC spec is:  300Mhz Pentium, 64Mb RAM, two hard drives - a 1Gb original
and an extra 4GB.  It is an old machine (about five or six years old) and
the video card is unknown.  I was thinking this may be the problem (the
video card) but then why shold the CD and hard drive stop?
Thanks
Andrew
