Subject: helpppppppppp Hi ,
I suppose I am considered a newbie since I have
only learned computers
this past year. I am however very brave or stupid
cause I have tackled cmos,
bios,fdisking etc. I am also quite good at putting
computers together and fix
many peoples for them. I can not however do a clean
install of Linux for the
life of me. I give up and come back to it thinking
as I learn more I will have a
better chance of a sucess. ARGH, is all I can say.
I have tried to install mandrake
6,7 and 7.1 as well as Stormix. All programs were
from maximum linux mags.
I have since gotten a larger hard drive and it is
SCSI ,which I thought would be
better. I started the setup and after one and
a half hours I got a message to
put the extension 86 cd into my drive to continue
or cancel if I did not have it
this of course stopped my installation since I had
no clue what it was let alone
try to install it.
At this point I am now completely frustrated I like
Windows but I am sick of
all the fatal exception errors and the many bugs
windows has.
I NEED SOME HELP, I am either completely out of my
mind or I just dončt get.
The more times I fail the more I want to install
it.
I have had sucessful installs if I do not need
windows but unfornately I still need
to use windows for all the proggrams not supported
by Linux. If anyone has any
suggestions I would be glad to here
them.
My system is a Pentium 200mmx
Ati all in wonder 8 mg video card
creative ensonique sound card
A adaptec AHA pci SCSI controller
40x cd-rom
Yamaha cd-recorder 4x (which I can not figure out)
9 gig Quantum (vikingII) HARD DRIVE (installed)
3 gig fujitsu hard drive(installed) IDE
US Robotics 56k voice modem
Barracuda hard drive(not sure if I will install it)
