I've just installed it on my second 10GB HDD 5400rpm and it works great. But, I did have problems with my Radeon 7500 and had to load it as "Generic vesa" to work. But the refresh rate is 50hz and I cant change it in the XF86Config. So I hope your Radeon works.

This has been a good experience. Out of all my linux attempts never have I had so much luck with it..
I am almost ready to format my 30 GB 7200 RPM drive, install Win98SE again, dual boot Mandrake 9. keeping win98SE on it for games. Then I will use the 8 GB drive for file swaps. |
