For you it is probably /dev/hda or /dev/hda1 (remember, Linux looks at partitions differently than Windows, the first partition on the first hd would be hda1, the second, hda2, etc, and the first on the second disk would be hdb1, etc. Then it will ask for the Path to Mandrake, which could be /dev/hda1/windows/downloads/Mandrake or whatever. Be sure all your disks are located in the same directory. Mine is (keep in mind Linux, not on a Win partition on /dev/hda8) Hopefully, you won't run into any permission problems with your install files, and it will go from there. And, defrag Windows before you begin, because you will be resizing existing partitions during the install, I assume.

The instructions in my other reply should do fine, and you can Google for more information if you feel you need it. I'm still using 9.1 and 9.2 because of some hardware issues with the 2.6 kernel. Remember, 2.6 is on the cutting edge--it is new, and there are still some things that need to be worked out. A lot of people have no problems whatsoever, but some do. e Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

An adsl connection on your windows partition?? When you do an ftp install you boot up your computer with a linux boot disk, and you must have internet connection at that point. Is that possible in your setup? Hans-Cees > > Hans-cees Speel @ http://www.hanscees.com Trees @ http://www.bomengids.nl Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
