A continuing saga
What is the proper procedure for using the 9.x-ppc-cooker-install-2.iso with
the mirrored /linux/Mandrake-devel/cooker/ppc on my local network?
I have set up bootX, I have the mandrake install directory on my Mac OS 9.1
desktop, therein i have the install mandrake ppc which I can click on, I
specify all.gz, and set the ramdisk to 3400.
the wallstreet then exits Mac os, the cd spins up and the system begins to
boot.
the first menue I get to asks about the medium:
nfs
ftp
cdrom
hard drive
When I select cdrom I can get as far as package installation with a nice 9.0
style installation menue, there it freaks out because at under 200 mb, the cd
obviously does not contain very many packages.
When I select ftp i run into the problem discussed below.
what is my procedural error?
