[ale] Mandrake 8.0 on Compaq

[runman at telocity.com (Greg)]

I have done it on a compaq presario 5000 series several times with no bad
experiences.  I have set the bios up to boot from the cd rom and I just put
the Mandrake cd in and let fly.

Have fun

Hi,

I'm thinking of installing Mandrake 8.0 on a Compaq Deskpro PC (not sure
exactly what model). I've heard bad things about trying to install Linux on
Compaq's in general. In the abscence of a specific question can anyone
advise as to the merit to tackling an install of Mandrake on a Compaq?
Caveats? Forget it completely?

Paul
