Hello Newbie-List ! I tried to install Mandrake 7.2 on my AMD K6-2 400 with a Tyan Trinity Board and 196 MB RAM on the second HDD from my Mitsumi 24Speed CD-Rom (autoboot). Everything is going fine and fast until i choose the packages. When it wants to install the packages i selected (i tried different amounts) it has a very slow access to my CD-ROM. An installation of Linux only (no other packages) needs about two hours to be finished. It thinks about every file to copy from CD-ROM a few seconds before it does copy it. The CDs are clean and without any scratches. Has anyone any idea why this happens? I thought about installing Mandrake from my HD, but i am not sure what directories i need. How do i have to do that ? I am totally new to Linux so please be kind ;-) Thanks for all help! Best regards Tom
