Hi guys.
Just got myself a copy of Mandriva Linux 2005. Excitedly booted my pc from the cdrom and it asked me to press enter to install. Upon doing this it then told me, "Could not mount compressed loopback" Ive never had any experience of linux so I have absolutely no idea what that means. This problem occurs before the installer has started. Hope somebody can help, Thanks all. |

QUOTE easy on noobs Now.. that is something I would have to see to believe. I have found that most die-hard linux users can not stand n00b's. This, I also believe, stems from a lack understanding Windows. |
