Problems Installing Mandrake 8.0 on Intel P4 mother board

[JMcNamara at e1b.org]

Thanks again for your help. I ordered a copy of Mandriva 10.1 powerpak, 
which should arrive very soon.
 This should take care of all outstanding problems.

Again, thank you. You have all been very helpful.

Go to one of the Mandrake mirrors, make sure and get the right Mandrake 
version for your system.  Don't you have a package manager setup?  It's 
pretty straight forward.

if you want me to come over and help you sometime you are on my way 
home, I work at Hopevale Union Free School District
