This is true. My experience with MDK 8.1 -- PI / 150MHz box, 64M RAM -- installed, worked just fine. PII / 250MHz box, 188M RAM -- tried to install 9 times. Never made it work. Fout times never even got thru the install program before it crashed and burned. I'm not saying MDK is perfect

i dont see how you can help people who claim to be having a hard time with the distro and not telling you specifics of how/when they get the problems. what is standard in their terms? what makes mandrake not standard? how did his system become unusable? just looking at his email, are you able to
