Searching for Program Packages ...

During update or install (From MDK 9.0)that is the line of text I see. Although when it's a fresh install it says something about RPM's as well .. I let it sit for 8 hours last night while it searched.

My question is:
Is Mandrake having some trubs with 9.1? I've never really had a problem with installing Linux distros of anykind (IcePack and RedHat). (Getting them to do anything once they are installed is another issue). I have read a lot of posts about install whoahs and so far, no help.

I have downloaded several ISO's from several sites (linuxiso.org, tucows, Utah State University and Mandrake it's self). I have burned each download at speeds ranging from 4X to 48X with exactly the same result.

Compaq 266mhz 33mhz bus
64mb ram
onboard video (ATI I Think)
onboard audio
Linux Only


P.S. I have also tried it all in Text mode as well.
