It works perfect with MDK 6.x, 7.0 and 7.1. It just dies during installation. I posted this twice here and to Mandrake directly. Never got an answer on the list, just this single "old or low-budget hardware" mail which should be ignored. I did a work-around with a harddisk-installation. OK, but that's not perfect, is it? How can I do a demo of the Ease of Installation when I have to start making a bootdisk and copying the files from a perfectly working CD-ROM to a harddisk for a start? wobo -- GPG-Fingerprint: FE5A 0891 7027 8D1B 4E3F 73C1 AD9B D732 A698 82EE For Public Key mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: GPG-Request --- ISDN4LINUX-FAQ -- Deutsch: http://www.wolf-b.de/i4l/i4lfaq-de.html
