if you have the space you could always mount the isos, copy the files to a directory on a partition that you don't need to mount during the install, use the paths on each of the cd's i.e. create RPMS and RPMS2 etc under .../Mandrake and put the appropriate files there, if that doesn't work you could try installing with all the rpms coppied to ..../Mandrake/RPMS, i would suggest not choosing a mount point for the partition with the files on during install as it is temporarily mounted by the boot floppy and this seems to confuse the installation later on, at least under 8.0 freq it did, i do feel Mandrake could be clearer about how to do installs using the hd boot floppy with more than one iso file, if this doesn't work you could look at trying to download the files from the ../i586/base directory on the ftp servers that have the distribution in non iso form, i believe this is the directory that has the info about the list of rpms and what directory they are in.
clear? because i think i've confused myself! bascule On Wednesday 03 October 2001 9:29 pm, you wrote: > How can I install Mandrake from ISO-files?
