Hello,
I started using Mandrake Linux 7.2 and found that everything worked perfectly which was a nice ot change from the other distros. But I started seeing some problems with it becaues I had been fiddling aorund with some of its RPM's and such. I reformatted the Drive Partition it was on and went back in to windows and issued the "fdisk /mbr" to erase lilo. When I went back to reinstall Mandrake 7.2 the same way I had previously, it gets to the "initializing cd" and then it says "Unable to mount RamDisk, this shouldn't happen.. etc." then it just terminates/kills all the processes and tells me to restart..
Can anyone help me please? I've been having a lot of problems and its frustrating me.
THanks,
Scott a.k.a Armand

When you reinstall you don't (delete,erase anything) it will do that itself during install.
Just boot with your "floppy" and "cdrom" in
