Re: Mandrake 7.1 - install notes



if you make upgrade you can choose any step of the install include making
partition, it more powerful in this way.

GURB is that thing:

GRUB is the new default bootloader for Mandrake 7.1.
GRUB doesn't have the 1024-cylinder limitation so now Linux-Mandrake can be
installed anywhere on a hard drive.
i made some guide's for mandrake 7.1 , i will upload them in monday.
