That is probably causing your download problems. I am having the same problem I checked my download of disk one with md5sum and everything checks out. I still get a blank screen if I try to load it on boot-up. I did do a live install in 8.2 and had some problems with the installation. Will need to repair the installation and will keep trying to do a full upgrade. Only got partial upgrade right now. Not giving up..linux has been in my blood for a few years now and it has finally gotten to the point where I want to use it exclusively. walt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] iso downloading problems
Did you check the md5sums of the ISO files before burning the CDs?

[newbie] iso downloading problems
I have written about a problem with downloading and using the install disk for md 9.0. Still having that problem. Right now I am downloading it from mandrake 8.2. The others have been in windows XP. I am really trying to give linux a fair chance. 9.0 looks very promising to me. I need to be able to use my dvd rom tho. I have a AMD k7 duron 1.2 procesor, g-force vid card. Mandrake 8.2 installed with no problems. Might just have to wait for the official release to come out. Was going to buy it anyway but wanted to install it now. I get the opening screen and hit enter and get a black screen. Have hit f1 and tried the other install methods with no luck. Any ideas guys? Walt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
