Im trying to install mandrake 9 and when it starts installing packages I get a bunch of "error installing packages: XXXX package name XXXX.whatever " error messeges and once i get to 8-9% it stops. whats going on ? I figured its a bad CD or ISO so I downloaded it again and still gettin the same problem.
 
md5 sums matched up? Are those the only errors you see (basically word for word)? Possibly bad ram? Wierd hardware? Tried a text install? Check other virtual terminals to see if there are more verbose errors there.

ill change ram.. anyone know how to do a network install? lol

FTP or NFS? NFS would require some additional work and by the sounds of it, you arent ready. FTP is simple, boot from the disk, when it asks you to select media, choose FTP. 😉
 
Try a different CDROM.

I've had trouble intalling Linux with one of mine, but other file transfers, etc. seem fine.

I got those errors too, and the checksum's matched. I went to RedHat next, no problems.
