Installation went fine but I figureed I would try this distro as FC2 kept randomly freezing and giving me blank screens (not sending data to the monitor so that it goes into a sleep mode). I booted up Mandrake today and it froze so I restarted as FC2 once did. Then when I was in it again and trying to configure my Network, it put me into this blank screen where I cannot user anything...My keyboard locks up (no Caps Lock lights, etc work). This happened before on FC2 as i mentioned and am starting to wonder if it is hardware specific. Does anyone know of any problems related to having 2 CD/DVD RW drives attached to the computer, ATI AIW Radeon PCI Video Card Issues, or 2+ hard drive issues? </BODY> </HTML>
