Re: [newbie] Lnx4Win problem

[Xeon Flux]

First question, Why are you running Linux in win
mode? this hardly even captures the power that
linux offeres..., second, what are your system's
specs, there often there for a reason,Many people
think that they can just ignore the minimum,
requirements, that the vender clearly displays on the
box. but anyway to the message it's self, If it is
unable to mount root, this is probably, because either
your HD or your cd-rom are not supported, can't really
tell which, would look into it more deeply, perhaps
check some faq files at mandrakes website,
www.linux-mandrake.com

 Hi,
 
 I tried to install for the first time on my DELL PC,
 Linux Mandrake 7.0,
 using the Lnx4Win, and I received an error at the
 end of the install
 process, when it prompts you "Are you ready to
 install Linux". After
 responding yes, the dos window displays the message
 "kernel panic VFS:
 Unable to mount root fs on 08:01" Any ideas.
 
 THanks

Re: [newbie] Internet access?

[Xeon Flux]

ok, do you have KDE installed, probably, so I will
explain using KDE's Kppp program, it is listed under
the menu Internet, this is relativly simple, almost
like setting up window's dial up connection..

!IMPORTANT!, the most important step is your DNS, you
will connect without it, but you won't be going
anywhere,so contact your ISP, either on there web site
or throught tech support. that is the most important
part, you can set the rest up using the provided help
files with the program

  The other week somebody posted a link to a page
 with advice on how to 
 get connected to the Internet using Linux.  I
 stupidly clicked on "delete" 
 before I realized that I could really use that kind
 of information.  If 
 somebody could please repost that link I would be
 very grateful.
