yes, that would also be nice, I think I did throw in a few ideas on this earlier on the cooker list. > > installing out of a disk .img with all boot facilities as a standard > > install way. > > Can you explain this one more? This was already available at some time in one or more of the betas, in alt0 and alt1 directories. I also wrote a little on my ideas earlier. But my idea is to streamline it as a mainstream way of installing cooker or the download version of Mandrake. This as installing from disk is faster in total than booting off a diskette or a cdrom, which media both are slower than disk, and requires that you find a media to burn or write on, and then at least compared to a 1,44 MB diskette, you may have more things in a disk-based boot.img. In fact you may have all drivers in the diskboot.img and all logics on whether to boot from disk, ftp, http, ntp etc. Furthermore quite some laptops today come without a diskette station, so it may be hard to do an install from those machines > > > > possiblity to nuke files with standard virus extension in postfix (.exe, > > .pif..) > > This shouldn't be done out-the-box without user intervention.

Sounds good. I just notice that time setup miss ntp setup. I havent been thru all of drakx and mcc to check for missing features. best regards keld
