Oyvind:
Sorry for mangling your name do not know how to get the slash in the O. I do
not know what the problem is but I have had the same probem with a MSI KT3
ULTRA2 MOBO Atholon XP 2200+ MAXTOR drives and LITON DVD and CDRW drives.
There has been much discussion in the past about the iso disk size and the
speed at which they were burned. Some CD-RW will not burn a 700 MB disk, also
the speed can effect the install, CD's burned at a high rate may not work.
Mine were burned at 8x speed. I am hopeing that this is the problem. I have
not had any problem with install SuSE or other Mandrake versions that I have
commercial disks for. So I am waiting for my Mandrake DVD to arrive in the
mail. And I am hoping that it is a problem with the speed the disc was burned
at and nothing more. I also tried underclocking the MOBO but that did not
work. If any one has a solution or better understanding, please help out as I
would like to get Mandrake installed.

It said Use Windows XP or better, so I installed SuSE-Linux 8.1
