Hi everyone. I thought it was about time I actually started using Linux properly. So....I tried to install Mandrake 9.0 but it`s not having it. The mainboard is a VIA ITX that has sound, video, eithernet and processor all built into the board. Is it possible that this is the reason for the non-install?. ...supose I could go back to lurking..
Hey Jon, oooh VIA - I have had some fun with their kit before. Is the ITX one of the all in one mini compact systems? From my hazed memory they were released not to long back. I would go with Neils suggestion and try out Fedora 2 or Mandrake 10 - This way you will be installing with a 2.6 kernel which is more likely to have the support you need to get the via chipsets going. Post the details of your failure as suggested as well. You can download the drake 10 or FC2 ISO images using bittorrent and then burn them to disc from winders. Failing that if your anywhere near Plymouth (I am here until Friday) i could burn them off for you. We all started somewhere so keep going.
