I am trying to install Mandrake 10.0 on a Dell Latitude 505 laptop. The installation proceeds without problems until it starts to install the selected packages. It loads a couple of packages but then just stops. The mouse still tracks but the "hour-glass" cursor is displayed, and the machine refuses to respond. I have to switch it off to recover. I tried again, this time de-selecting the package that gave the trouble, but the machine just froze again somewhere else. The Sony model DW-R56ADVD/CDROM combo drive works fine when I have to boot into Windows XP parition. (I'd prefer to boot into Linux but if I can't install it then ...!) My CDROMs were purchased from Mandrake and so I would hope that they're all right. Has anyone out there come across this sort of problem and have found the answer to it??
Cheers
Mike
