Noah,
I had similar problems installing beta 3 of Mandrake 8, and then (with
the same machine) similar problems with Mandrake 7.2. Finally I managed
to install Mandrake 7.2 by using the "text" install. Even in the text
install, the system would hang if it tested X, so I told it not to text
X.
Over the past few days, I have been attempting to install Mandrake
8 on a system which will only use mandrake. After all downloads (i am
doing it via ftp) complete without a problem, the last step, configure
x, causes drakx to lock up. I have tried to install several different
times wit
