Installing Mandrake 8.0 on Intel P4 mother board</DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>Well, my first recommendation is to get a set of mandrake
10.1 or 10.0 disks. <BR>8.0 is very old and may have a problem with newer
boards with unknown IDE<BR>controllers. The newer versions have better IDE
support.<BR><BR>Cheers!<BR><BR>Bob<BR>--- <A
