[newbie] Mandrake installer corrupts system?
For the second time in a week, I have managed to trash my system. Not that I did anything really wrong - I merely had some problems and tried to reinstall the system as an upgrade. When looking for previously installed packages, it shows an error when it is trying to read an rpm database file. After that, I can no longer boot into the system and need to do a full install again.

Re: [[newbie] Mandrake and Windows...]
On 5/04/00 0:48, Alan Shoemaker [EMAIL PROTECTED] is reported to have said: Kirklilo can't keep you from booting with a floppy because you set the system bios to boot whatever device you want to be the boot device. If you tell the bios to try the floppy first or to only boot from the floppy then if there is a bootable disc present in the drive, your system will boot with whatever is on that floppy. Doesn't lilo specify what type of file system will be on the floppy? Maybe that's why I couldn't boot off a dos floppy... You can boot your Linux installation from a floppy forever, but I wouldn't say it's a particularly good idea, and I certainly wouldn't say that it would be best. If it makes you more comfortable, than it's probably a good short term solution, but you'll eventually probably get tired of the slowness of a floppy boot and begin using lilo (or lilo in conjunction with a commercial multi-boot loader like Boot Magic). What does Boot Magic do? Does it do the same as lilo, but under Windows? It's not really that slow to boot from a floppy But it would be easier if I didn't have to.
