> Thanks gang am giving up on using Mandrake on that POS will try Damn Small > Linux (Hey it only takes 12 floppys) Sort of hijacking here, but does anyone know if is it possible in any way to install mandrake on a laptop that has no CD or floppy drive. I have a machine that's like this, and it could also help Aron stay with the wonderful world of mandrake. I have googled, but haven't found anything where the only bootable device is the one hdd you're installing to. I have thought of something like the following, but don't have a clue as to how I could pull it off, or if it's possible at all.
1: take hdd out, partition into 2 (hda ~4G, hdb ~2G) 2: prepare part.1 so it can boot up the laptop 3: copy all install files onto part.2 4: put hdd back into laptop 5: boot from part.1 6: install from partition 2, (can the installation process repartition part.1 into /, swap, etc, without running into problems?) anything to point me in the right direction here is a step to getting rid of my last windows installation. thanks guys Andras -- Linux User #245991
