I have purchased a Mandriva Live cd off of e-bay ($2.00) and the seller sent me 2 identical cd's. I am now guessing that he hasdone so because they are so buggy that he is hoping that at least 1 will work.
Put in the cd, rebooted, stopped boot at BIOS setup and chose cd drive as 1, 2, and 3rd boot source. Upon reboot I got a real pretty orange colored graphic stating MANDRIVA. Wait and wait, I finally hit ENTER and a screen with seemingly endless error messages appeared. This has happened with both disks.
I am running Win XP home on an AMD Duron 900 mhz, 20 gig hdd, 256 mb RAM, and a fresh re-install of the XP.
Am I stupidly doing something wrong or the system incompatible or are the disks frelled?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
