Hello Rai'da,

The mandrake installer is easy, Just defrag your harddrive, then you can resize it and create partitions for mandrake.

I can handle all of the CVS things for you. So you can concentrate on other important things. As I always believe that interaction with CVS is not to be required by the translators.

What are the specs of the laptop or the model number ?
