[phantom punisher]

seems to be quite different in it behavior and configuration. took me two hour to get it on the internet post install style:( im doing weird stuff with it right now but it seems to get bogged down easyer than 8.0. this could be all im my head though cause i havnt used 8.0 in two monthes. ive got a question to post too

With Mandrake, I always wait for the final version. I am too Linux-retarded to make a beta OS work. I will download it when it goes final. I'm trying to download 8.0 PPC to run on my iBook here but the mirror sites are slow.

[BIG-O-2]

Slow is not the word. I got the disk 2 but disk 1 is being a pain in my a**. I get all the way to 92% and that is getting kicked off 5 to 6 time then it gust sits there 0.00kbps.

I tried Cute FTP and Download Accelerator 5.0 Plus. I get the same thing from both programs.

Anyone have any Ideas how I can download this disk 1??

:rolleyes:

[YMAN]

how are you supposed to install the files on the ftp server?
(new at linux)


Is it possible to run windows and linux on the same Comp?

[rugby]

YMAN,
BUY THE PACKAGE! If you have questions like these then it's a great idea to go buy the boxed set and get manuals and extra goodies. I think Mandrake costs like 30 bucks, it's money well spent. ALso check out http://www.linuxnewbie.org

[YMAN]

Whats the difference between all the versions/brandnames?
(or whatever they are)

Ex., Corel, Redhat, Peanut, Phat, Gentoo, Debian, Slackware,
Mandrake, Turbo Linux, Yellowdog, Suse.............
