- throw away Mandrake/mdkinst (if you have more than > 32MB, and XF86_FB is
working, no pb)

- choose your RPMS in Mandrake/RPMS (beware of dependencies)

- run genhdlists

- boot on hd.img (you can prepare your zip to boot on it, but for this, see the
command oem on the rescue)

- install!


ok, so now, where is the pb?

- Mandrake/base is 17MB
- that leaves 83MB of rpms, that should fit :)

[Cooker] minimum install tarball?

[Robert L Martin]

for those of us with an existing ext2 partition could maybe the install
disc just drop a tarball with the base system on it? so what if fstab is
broken (boot disk anyone?) and you have just a drum beat primitive
system (include an ncurses front end to RPM and im happy). Ii challenge
any Mandrake Employee to give me step by step on how to install Mandrake
on a Zip 250 (base + x + net + any WM)
Robert L Martin (just to make things simple the Zip is sdb4 and i have a
Zip 100 as sda4)
