[newbie] Mandrake 6.5 install problem

2000-06-24 Thread Tony Tuso

Hello Folks,

I am very new to Linux. I went out and purchased Linux for Windows 6.5
from Staples.
Comes with 2 CD's. One being the installation CD. I read the
documentation through before installing. When I ran into my problem I
checked the Linux Newsgroups and websites including Linux-Mandrake site.

He goes...

When I try to install Linux-mandrake 6.1 on my windows 98 system, I get
the following error abort message during the 'scanning packages' part of

the install.

install exited abnormally - record signal 7 - sending termination
signal...done - sending kill signal...done - unmounting filesystem -
/tmp /rhimage /mnt /proc /dos umounted failed - you may safely reboot
your system.

At this point the system is hung and I can only turn it off.

I have:

P333
AMD/K6
64MB Ram
8gig free HD

If you could point me to something that would help me solve this problem
I would VERY much appreciated that.

Thanks!:)
Tony
