[ILUG] Mandrake 7.2 / W2k

[Ben Edwards]

In the first stage of the 'perge Micro$oft from my life' project I am 
trying to install Mandrake 7.2 on my 2nd PC (PI 150/65MB).  This seemed to 
work until I try to run and programers.  At this point either I get a 
window up (i.e. term) and the whole thing hangs or I get only the frame of 
a window up and screen corruption and the whole thing hangs. Any ideas.

The other thing I want to do is install Mandrake on a dual boot option (at 
least to start with) on a my mane PC (PIII 450/252MB) but I want to make 
sure I can still run W2k as I need to run Dreamweaver/photoshop.  vmware is 
the way forward (and ultimately shelving MS apps) but for now this is the 
bridge.

How can I do this to insure W2k douse not get shafted(although it deserves to)?

Regards,
Ben
