Mandrake Linux 8.1 Beta 1


Recommended Posts

Hey I Burned it and now I got one major problem. The cdrom.img in the D:images is only 0 bytes. So I can not use the create boot disk thing cause nothing happens when you click write. Please I really would like to see this seeing how I have never seen it before. I believe that this file is my problem. Think its a bad file so if anyone has the good one please let me know.

Thanks a lot,

Will

MandrakeFreq-20010810-ext.i586.iso

or

MandrakeFreq-20010810-inst.i586.iso??[/edit]

war59312, fear not! I have the same with my Linux-Mandrake 8.0 freq Traktopel-Freq1-i586 I installed it fine, without a problem!

If your BIOS can boot from the CDROM and you want to perform a standard installation of Linux-Mandrake (not using Lnx4Win), you can also set your BIOS to boot from the CDROM before searching the hard disk. Look for Boot sequence in the BIOS features setup.

the above, taken from mandrake install guide chapter 3

after the changes made in bios, pop in your mandrake cd and reboot. you will get the installation screen..and from there Good Luck!

I have tried Linux-Mandrake 8.0. Toyed with it on my system for about 3 or 4 days, but got decided to leave it out of my final system layout (misc complications...). I'll stick with Windows, (WinME/2k dualboot) thanks. :cool: Maybe some day I will give Linux another shot, but...not today

Yes, you can partition your hard drive with Linux-Mandrake 8.0 without conflicting Windows! I would recommend using the LILO at boot so you can choose whether to boot between Linux and Windows! Its advantages are :

1. It's more stable than W2K!

2. You can do a heck of a lot more customization than in Windows 9x!

3. It comes with a hectic amount of applications, but make sure you clear at least 5 GB (for the Standard Edition) or 10 GB (for the PowerPack) so you can have enough space to install them all!

4. You can still access Windows files and you can even install Windows fonts!

5. It comes with 11 graphical environments!

6. So many other advantages that it's impossible to tell you, so find out for yourself!

However, there are a couple of disadvantages :

1. You can't read the EXT2 partitions in Windows.

2. It doesn't support Winmodems nor USB devices!

If you have any questions on Linux, ICQ me!

I would recommend using the LILO at boot so you can choose whether to boot between Linux and Windows!
Loadlin is your alternative.. It allow you to boot into linux from dos prompt using the kernel image file you've copied into your FAT32 partition. loadlin will not interfere your MBR or whatsoever, so in my opinion, it's safer..
3. It comes with a hectic amount of applications, but make sure you clear at least 5 GB (for the Standard Edition) or 10 GB (for the PowerPack) so you can have enough space to install them all!
WHAT?!?!!?!?!!!

Disadvantage: ofcause.. You need to be patient and learn how things work. How do you learn them? There're documentation attach with every (i've never seen linux's software without docs.. lol) software. If you have any problem using command or whatever, there's always 'man' to help you out. Make sure you install 'man' ;) http://www.linuxdoc.org

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
