We are trying to install Prelude to Rhapsody on a PC:
- Asustek/T2P4 (mother board), Cyrix 166(CPU)
- Matrox Mystique as video card
- Dual IDE Primary/Secondary
- IDE Disk
- IDE CD ROM (GoldStar) 
- US Robotics Modem (intern)

with a lot of pb:

1: The first step of installation (Boot on disk and copy of the system)
does not work in French but it's ok in English (default language).
Some files does not exists ??

2: Now i trying second step of installation after reboot. So i need to
choose my hardware drivers. It's ok and then i have to finish the
installation by installing "OpenStep Essential (78Mo) and some other
applications.
But It always failed after two or three files (???). 
All I can do it's reset my computer. 
The only solution that i found it's to do the first step, then to boot
in single user, to remove the CDRom in the fstab file, then reboot. So
the "OpenStep Essential 78Mo" is skipped by this way and i finished the
installation by copying all files that i guess to be on the hard
drive!!! Unbeleivable but it seems to works!!!!

3: Now i don't found any driver for my video card MatroxMystique(2Mo).
In 640x480 it's impossible to work correctly. So if someone have a cool
driver, can you send it to me.

4: I need also a driver for my modem but if i don't have it doesn't
matter to much, all i want it's to work with OpenStep 4.2 correctly.

Any idea ?

Thank you
