To make the 3 cd's available for ftp install without braking the iso's open and waisting room I did the following. The first cd loops fine but you carnt loop the 2nd cd's RPMS2 into the fist. To get around this I did. Mkdir /files/mdk-d1, /files/mdk-d2, /files/mdk-d3 Mkdir /files/mandrake91 copy root files of cd1 to mandrake91 ## Mount and link Mandrake 91 iso's to mandrake91 # mount /files/mandrake-91-iso/mandrake-91-disk1.iso -o loop /files/mdk91-d1 mount /files/mandrake-91-iso/mandrake-91-disk2.iso -o loop /files/mdk91-d2 mount /files/mandrake-91-iso/mandrake-91-disk3.iso -o loop /files/mdk91-d3 ln -s /files/mdk91-d1/doc/ /files/mandrake91/doc ln -s /files/mdk91-d1/dosutils/ /files/mandrake91/dosutils ln -s /files/mdk91-d1/images/ /files/mandrake91/images ln -s /files/mdk91-d1/isolinux/ /files/mandrake91/isolinux ln -s /files/mdk91-d1/misc/ /files/mandrake91/misc ln -s /files/mdk91-d1/tutorial/ /files/mandrake91/tutorial ln -s /files/mdk91-d1/Mandrake/base/ /files/mandrake91/Mandrake/base ln -s /files/mdk91-d1/Mandrake/mdkinst/ /files/mandrake91/Mandrake/mdkinst ln -s /files/mdk91-d1/Mandrake/share/ /files/mandrake91/Mandrake/share ln -s /files/mdk91-d1/Mandrake/RPMS/ /files/mandrake91/Mandrake/RPMS ln -s /files/mdk91-d2/Mandrake/RPMS2/ /files/mandrake91/Mandrake/RPMS2 ln -s /files/mdk91-d3/Mandrake/RPMS3/ /files/mandrake91/Mandrake/RPMS3 Add a user ftpdl passwd whatever At the bottom of proftpd.conf add DefaultRoot /files/mandrake91 ftpdl Restart proftpd. Now you can do a ftp install as user ftpdl and not worry about changing cd's. For multiple installs add more users to proftpd. Its a quiet saturday morning down under :) Gary.
