I tried to run Linux Mandriva on my Computer, but during the boot from the cd I get a message saying:
"Loop image not found, dropping you to a limited shell. Type a command" and then there is a list of commands, but no matter what command I type in, nothing happens.

I ran the cd on a virtual machine and it worked.
I have enough HardDrive space, 512MB RAM, 3.06GHz Intel processor.

I would also like to know what is the best version of Linux I can use instead of windows? I have the latest releases of Ubuntu and Kubuntu which installed and worked on my computer.

Thanks

Hi, i need to insall a program -Jokosher- on my computer but it’s a .deb package and Mandriva Supports .rpm i tried Alien and it didnt work please helpp!

I just installed linux mandriva and now it wont read my wireless card, which is intel 2200 b/g. I went to the intel site and found the package to install it for linux. Now I have a whole bunch of files and I dont know how to install any of them. How do I install a wireless card on linux mandriva?!

I originally had Windows 7, then due to a registry error, it messed up and wouldn’t boot again. I used the Mandriva Linux install disc to format the hard drive but now when I boot the computer with the Windows 7 install disc, it does not acknowledge the disc (even though it is set to read the disc from the BIOS). It simply continues straight to the Linux OS. It is not a disc issue either as I have back-ups.
Thanks in advance.

how do i install it. what commands do i use. tar and uncompress seem not to work on my mandriva. how do i correct this.

I am trying to connect to internet using another computer. I installed Linux Mandriva on it but it doesn’t recognize my ethernet adapter.

How can I make it recognize my adapter? Thanks you!
Thank you again, Thirumal Vijai!!

I’m new to Linux mandriva and i don’t know what codecs to use to get the dvd to play. I’m trying to play the video through the movie player that comes with the operating system, and i keep getting a message saying "cannot read from source" and my dvd is brand new, only used once or twice

I tried simply formatting the partitions holding Mandriva, but the boot screen when I restart my PC didn’t go away and then it didn’t boot at all. So I reinstalled Mandriva and everything’s back to normal. But I want to free the space used by Linux.
So how do I properly unistall it, including the Operating System Selection Screen. I believe its called bootloader. How do I get rid of it?

I am looking for a Linux OS for games free or not doesn’t matter. How do you get The Sims for Linux doesn’t it come with Mandriva. How far are they at with The Sims 2.

how do i get to my mandriva?

The program is in home/documents/ this is my first time installing anything in linux (mandriva) everywhere just says run ./configure or /make /make install but how? I found the Configure file but it opens in KWrite. Thank You

I'm unsatisfied with Windows, so I've been looking for a good Linux distro. Mandriva seems good, with good hardware support. Has anyone trying Mandriva Linux 07, particulary the One LiveCD edition? And does it contain Atheros WiFi support like it said?

I have heard of lots of different Linux OS like Ubunto and Mandriva.

Im pretty computer savy so which one do you think fits me best?

Also, are Linux able to play Windows games or run windows applications?
