Recently tried installing Mandrake 7.1 for a duel-boot system with win98. Made linux and swap partition with PQMagic.So far so good.
During install, DrakX would show a message that there was an error installing certain packages,most notable being various XFree86 components.It gave the option to continue or stop-I chose continue.
This was a custom install, as recomended in user manual for duel-boot systems.When it came time to test the Xconfiguration,It detected my Voodoo Banshee agp(generic)and my monitor was listed in the hardware list of compatible monitors.But when it tested, all I got was a black screen.
Is this typical of a bad install disk or have I got a some other prob?
I have the Red Hat dist. from NoSpin.Should I try that or take Mandrake back to store for an exchange and try again?TIA for any help.
