Mandrake 10.0
« on: 4 April 2004, 23:59 »
I am going to download and install Mandrake 10.0 this week. I need to know two things about it that I cant seem to find answers to:

1. How many of the four installation disks do I need. 4 disks for an OS is a bit too much in my opinion.

2. What are the system requirements? I plan to install this on an old PC.

I guess you only need 3 or 2. One is for l10n, and since you're English speaking anyway...

The requirements for Mandrake are probably 96 MB of RAM at least. I've noticed 9.2 running slower than Slackware.

Oops..I forgot to mention by system requirements I meant how much disk space? I only have 5 gigs available.

You could install it into 2-3 gig.  Plus some swap space...

400 is generally pretty good.

^ you have 128MB ram, right?  You could've gotten away with 200, but having more won't hurt.  ;)
