Maybe that's why some of us are so adamant about wanting CL tools installed and available by default. All console tools are available by defualt, but not necessarily installed by default. Anyone running cooker is assumed to be able to 'urpmi package' after changing to a VT (or worse). Again with the anyone running cooker stuff? The point that was made about that wasn't with regard to cookers; it was about the target market and taking the default console tools out of the standard menus. Read that as affecting newly captured people intelligent enough to be curious about Mandrake, but with no experience with anything but Windows. Those that have also developed a burning desire to run away from Microsoft and their Trusted Infection initiatives. People that have money to buy distribution releases, and expect to have *everything* they were smart enough to read about. Without having to ask a guru where the hell all of those wonderful tools are. New *customers* in other words. People that will never accept condescension. Clear enough?

Unfortunately, I'm in the boat with you here, and they didn't work (well, they did, but only halfway). IF you're running a linux OS already, try burning the ISO's to cd using your favorite cdr interface. This WILL burn all the related information to the CD. Unfortunately, it will NOT close the cd, meaning you won't have ACCESS to it anywhere except at boot (I know, it really boggles the mind doesn't it). At least it works that way with my cdrw. The cd's not closed, but it is readable somehow (??) at boot and setup time. Under Win, try the same thing, although, I'm not 100% familliar with how Win progs handle closing cd's, etc. The ONLY problem with the larger CD's is that you'll NEVER be able to get them mounted (ie: you want to upgrade/install xxx package using rpmdrake). Unfortunately, there's not really a lot more that can be done. Hopefully the gurus behind this are working on a solution for the rest of us, altho who knows. It does seem to be a common problem though. I used an old (1999) Mitsumi (CR-4804TE) 4x4x24 under Mandrake 8.2 and all three disks are just as mountable/readable there and in my Liteon 40X as any other disks. I typed this in a terminal: cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,0,0 -eject /store/Downloads/MandrakeLinux-9.0beta2-CD1.i586.iso and (after changing the CD number) all three were burned and fixated. The media used were Maxell 700 MB CD-R apparently made by Ritek, whoever they are. :-) I don't understand why this wouldn't work for anyone after adapting it to their particular set up. i.e.: cdrecord scanbus will give you the device, the speed is whatever your CD-RW supports, the directory name is wherever you saved the ISOs, and the eject is just to remind me to start the next one. You may have to switch to superuser if you aren't in the proper groups though. I'm such a newbie this probably isn't any help, but it works for me. -- Charlie Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org Nine years of ballet, asshole. -- Shelly Long, to the bad guy after making a jump over a gorge that he couldn't quite, in Outrageous Fortune

Mine was a very pale lavender-blue color. I accidentally managed to get the more options screen once by hitting a 3 and the enter button on the numeric keypad almost simultaneously and got a complaint about unrecognised command, then typed rescue (which is what I wanted in the first place) and proceeded from there. I have no idea what the devil happened, I'm a newbie after all. -- Charlie Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org This is NOT a repeat.

No separate /boot. I wasn't about to reformat the entire system and lose everything. The boot continued to a point then went: kernel panic VFS: unable to mount root at 03:05! repeatedly.
