Are you installing to have multiple OS's? How is the disk formatted? How
are you partitioning? I had a problem because my disk had been formatted
with the old DOS command which does not recognize anything over 2.1G (I
have 6.1G ). I did not know this until I got a tech friend to help. Does
Mandrake normally issue a message if thinking it is out of space? Mine
kept crashing during the file or package transfer also. Are you using a
boxed set of the software? What medium are you using to install (boot
floppy, CD, etc)................leo
