o anybody at MandrakeSoft: I got a problem installing the beta 1. The graphical enviroments does not work it crashes and when it defaults to the text installations It fails as well. I had a few problems with 7.1 but not like this I have tried to install the OS in a different machine at work and the graphical enviroment runs but it crashes because of memory problems, the machine only has 32MB of ram. On my computer at home which is the one the graphical environrment fails as well as the text enviroments I have 80MB of ram so I think memory is not the problem. I have boot thru the help and given the command linux mem=80M and the same thing still the installation fails. I tried using a the cdimage from 7.1 to boot it does work but it fails to install all the packages and the extension cd never gets called to be installed even if I had mark that I have the second cd. The reason I'm trying to use 7.2b1 is because of the options of DSL I try configuring on 7.1 but I had no luck. My ISP is Verizon formerly Bell Atlantic, they use winpoet from Wind Rivers as a dialer for the connection even thought it dials a ghost number (00-0000) but still it dials that number to get the dynamic IP. I have not found out which pppoe works for Verizon yet so I tried 7.2b1 to see if you guys have come up with something for it.
