[newbie] LM install going from bad to worse... Help!!

2000-10-18 Thread Simon Martin
lp me format my drive? I have the LM boot floppy and 3 CDs, *and that's it*, No Win CD, no nothing. Surely there must be a way to format the drive, before I go totally nuts... Thanks -- Simon Martin London Uk PGP KEY ID <0x1C6F4419> @ <http://pgpkeys.mit.edu:11371/> *Please not

[newbie] Can't install Mandrake 7.0

‘Upgrade’ and hit return I then get an error message saying “An error occurred, No available partitions” I have not formatted the hard drive yet, I’m expecting to be given that option in the next window. I am *not* wanting a dual boot system, Linux only!! Any ideas? Many thanks Simon Martin
