Subject: [newbie] Install from Local Hard
Drive
I am trying to install mandrake 7 from my local
hard drive. I am trying to go the route of using the Install.bat which starts
up the options of drakeX on restart.
Then once I restart I choose DrakX
Local
Then it asks for a floppy and I hit
return
Next it loads up the kernel and I get a prompt
that says
select partition and Directory holding Linux
Mandrake. I point it to my D: Drive since I have the whole install on that
drive.
Then I hit return and all I get is a mostly blank
screen with
Welcome to Linux Mandrake in the upper left hand
corner and a flashing cursor in the lower left hand corner.
There it just stops it keeps blinking I let it
run for about 30 mins and nothing happned.
Any Advice would be appreciated.
Ry
