I have a problem related to the Mandriva 2008 installation. I have downloaded the OS from mandriva official site to CDROM. When i have inserted and followed the instructions it is booting and from the ram and it show the login screen and then it disappears. I am unable to use that . Could anyone suggest me what could be the problem.
you question is unclear, have u installed linux?, as there is no login screen for installation.
I f you have installed it and such a problem is occuring please re-install, and dont forget to create another user beside root while installing hopefully that will resolve your problem.
