We had some problems installing from the full DVD--lots of drive read errors from the DVD. So we installed from the Mini-CD.
This laptop originally had a Mandrake 10.1 installation, with lots of stuff installed. All of a sudden, X quit working correctly in Mandrake 10.1, so we decided to take the opportunity to do an upgrade.
The X problem was really something to do with the XFS server not starting correctly, and so fonts quit loading.
