[techtalk] Mandrake 8.0 install problem

It has been a while since I built a Linux box.  I decided to load the new Mandrake 8.0 on the second hard drive of an old Win98 box I have.  I intended to build a dual boot system with Win98 on drive 1 and Linux on drive 2.  The install progresses just fine through partitioning the second dr
