Ya. So, after I insert cd#1 into the drive, restart, and press enter to install, my computer reboots. I checked the MD5Sums of the cd images and they were all correct. What could be wrong?
 
Well, I downloaded the fix, and tried using it but, I couldn't get it to work. I probably could've, but, I didnt feel like wasting my time with it so I just installed v10.0 of Mandrake Linux. I tried FC 1, and I still liked Mandrake better.
 
what do you like about mandrake better? just wondering cause i have been using fedora core 1 and 2 , never tried mandrake
 
Wwll, when I was first wanted to get into Linux, I figured that Mandrake would be the best for me because it is made out to be the most user-friendly. So, I downloaded it, and loved it. A few days later, I went out and bought Linux for Dummies (the one with the DVD). On the DVD, there was a version of FC 1. I don't have a DVD drive (ive never needed one) but, I knew at the time that FC2 was out. Well, I downloaded it, and tried to install it. Well, it wouldn't install, and I then found a fix. Turns out the prob was my mobo. I was thinking "wtf? why wouldn't it work with my mobo", and "why wouldn't this problem be fixed before it is released?". Well, I thought FC1 wouldn't be too different, do I downloaded it and installed it. I liked all the scientific and math stuff that came with it, which is why I installed it. I then uninstalled it because I couldn't stand the GUI. So, I then installed Mandrake, again, and I've been using it ever since.

I wanted to install FC1 because it came with the book, so all the instructiuons in it would be right. But, the user interface, and the fact that its later release was incompatable (for a stupid reason) with my computer, and the fact that I was used to Mandrake, are the reasons that I stayed with Mandrake.
