1st: Are you running an AMD Athalon at 1.2ghz, or an Intel Celeron at
1.2ghz?
2nd: I have had similar problems with Mandrake, and it had to do with the
Hardware.. I ended up using Knoppix exclusively for my travel companion....
3rd: I tried all the "Live CD" including the FreeBSD cd, and I found that
Knoppix was the absolute best... I had to config the resolution in Mepis,
SuSE booted like it was installing, Mandrake asked to many questions, and
was slow, and Free BSD was just strange to me. My suggestion, if one works
and the other doesn't , go with the one that works as you are not installing
it anyway, so you are limited in what you may change!!!!!
