At this point guys I would strongly suggest getting the 7.2 CD's from cheapbytes. I too had the same problems and as soon as I got the disks from Cheapbytes and tried them out everything went flawlessly. -- Mark ### ## ...it's not a bug, it's a feature ## Registered Linux User # 1824

Did you burn your own Mandrake CD? I had the same problem, and I later realised that I had a buffer underrun while burning. If that is the case, you will have to burn it again. On Thu, 21 Dec 2000 16:34, Paul Williamson wrote: > When I install mandrake by booting from the cd, there is an error
