I am trying to install Mandrake 8.2 Beta. I get to the point where the installer gives me the choice of selecting the boot/install media or server. When I select CD drive I get the reply it cannot find it, and then, a long list of devices of which I am supposed to select one amd I have no clue which one. I also tried to boot into Open Firmware pressing alt + command + o & f at reboot but no go. My machine is a 9600 with a 3rd party G3 @ 466 Mhz, 448 MB Ram OS 9.2.2 but patched for Old World machines and my target drive is 4.5 Gig, 300MB allocated for MacOS. I tried to install YollowDog 2.1 and got stuck at exactly the same point.

Any ideas / suggestions welcomr

TIA

If you subscribe to the Mandrake PPC Cooker mailing list, you can ask one of the MandrakeSoft developers about your problem. Since 8.2 is still a beta, I'm sure they would like to hear from you.

Subscribe to the Cooker-PPC mailing list by sending an email to [email protected] with the words "SUB cooker-ppc" (without the quotes) in the body of your message.

Good luck,
Phil
