Hi,

Has anyone else experienced this problem? I had Mandrake 7.0 working 
fine and thought I would just install (not upgrade) to Mandrake 8.0 over 
the top. The installation finsihed sucessfully and there were absolutely 
no errors (event testing X worked). However, when I rebooted my machine 
I see the message "welcome to Mandrake press I for interactive boot" and 
then the system just freezes completely.

I never had any problems before and my machine is less that a year old 
(Gateway 650 MHz processor with 30 Gig hard drive and 384 MB RAM). May 
be I'll just stick with RedHat as they seem to test theirs more 
thoroughly. I think Mandrake install is very unprofessional - I really 
don't know why everyone likes it. It looks bad and there are spelling 
mistakes - it just doesn't look polished to me. Also why is X configured 
at the end? This should be done way before you even install all the 
software! The reason I like Mandrake though is the desktop environments 
are better configured there is more software and it is up to date. If 
only they had a decent installation program like RedHat's it would be 
the best distro....
