Installing Mandrake 9.1 & 9.2
Welcome to the installation of Mandrake 9.1 & 9.2, perhaps one of the most intuitive version among all distributions available. I decided to include this section for all of those who always like to be ahead and current to the changes of technology. The installation process of Mandrake 9.1 differs a little in comparison to the version 9.0 installation but is very similar to 9.2. Follow the instructions installing Mandrake 9.0 to create the boot up floppy disk if you need it, otherwise just make sure your first boot device is set to CD-ROM and insert the installation CD1 into your CD-ROM drive to start the installation. Observe the first screen by pressing Enter it will proceed with the installation. If for some reason you need to troubleshoot or simply because you are having trouble installing in the graphical mode, you can accomplish the installation in text mode by pressing F1 instead.

Be aware that your language may not necessary match your keyboard. For example, one can select Spanish as the language but the keyboard is 100% English. In this situation you would use: US keyboard (international) on the other hand select the correct one.
