Mandrake 8.00 installation/Booting problem...Plz Help
Hey everyone,

I'm new to the forum.
I have a problem with Mandrake 8.00; i have installed it on my old PC with no problems (none mentioned) but on re-booting after the installation it just hangs after listing the devices: Hard Disk, CD-ROM & Floppy A.
I have installed it on Packard Bell with Processor speed..210MHz, Hard Disk.. 10GB.Originally i had Wins98 on this box which i have removed. Please help I'm interested in starting using Linux.

Regards;
Sybella

This OS is to hard for your old cpu, becouse It's using KDE 3.
Maybe you try to install Mandrake 7.2
