I know this is not a Linux board and I'm not asking for help here. I have a laptop that I have recently acquired and it had XP on it. It was ok but I didn't really care much for it. To my horror, it takes up 1.6 gigs. I installed Mandrake Linux 8.1 on it. Installation went beautifully...but the boot up goes into a loop. Natch...I posted a note on Linuxnewbie.org asking about this and someone replied that I need to get a boot up disk disabling p7opti or something like that and then recompile. Heh...and here I am, a long time winblows user who just wanted a linux machine so he'd learn more about linux...*grin* A Catch-22...hehe...oh well...I'll keep working it until I can get this solved. Note: this is not something you need to reply to since this is not a question about Linux. Thanks for listening...
