Draxconf doesn't seem to have a "sound" option - I'll leave the sound alone for now. I think I should first concentrate on the problem with the floppy and CDRW drives (and I have an internal ZIP drive - I'm guessing that doesn't work either). I've attached the output of dmesg - during boot, it looks like the CDRW and ZIP are recognized as ATAPI, but then later down, as scsi devices. Also, there are lots of error related to the floppy drive. Could you take a look and see if there is something in the boot msgs that can point the way out of this ? I'm learning a bunch of little things along the way here, so I appreciate the response.

Also make sure you know exactly what's in your system; video card, monitor, mouse, sound card, etc. And the hardest part is partitioning your system. Once you get past that, the rest of installation is a breeze; just answer the questions. Good Luck! Hello all I am getting ready to install Mandrake 7.0 for my first time. Is there any thing I could read or any tips so I do not mess up my system. I do not have the manuel etc. Any tips besides the usual.
