This article is a lie. Ok, just one reboot, during installation it has images changing and more details if you want, it shows you the configuration that is going to install (kde, gnome...), installation takes up 30min and so on ....no more comments.

AT adds: As the quoted article was published on 25 April 2005, one has to ask why it took you so long to reply. Installing Linux, perhaps?

I just had about the same experience attemping to install Mandriva Linux.
I loved this article. It is beautiful written and from my experience in three attempts to install linux it is also very accurate.
Thank you.
