[newbie] boot CD
Hi All, How can I make a bootable cd with folders containing the 3 CD of MDK 10.1? I tried with Nero or Roxio EZ CD Creator but it always ask me for the source of the image file (*.img). Hence, I download a trial version of MagicISO or ISObuster ..but no succes. Can someone just give some lead becaue i'm kinda lost. TIA. Song.
Re: [newbie] Installing windows.
Hi, I Wanted to do the same as you and finaly uninstall mandrake, install window and, after install mandrake back. Windows don't want to share... Le Lundi 01 Avril 2002 20:30, vous avez écrit : hi, To bring this up might be a little silly. ;-) I've got Mandrake 8.2 on my laptop. HD is 8.5G. Now I am thinking of installing a windows, 98 or 2000 or whatever. So I got some space for it, yes a bit small hda1BootPrimary Linux ext2 3668.48 hda5Logical Linux swap 254.99 hda6Logical Linux ext2 2500.49 hda7Logical Win95 FAT32 2615.64 But windows says it has to install some files in the boot area which is in the first partition hda1 and it cannot put any file in there coz that's unix partition. What should I do now? Get rid of Mandrake, install windows and get the Mandrake all back again? Helps apprecaited.

Re: [newbie] error message on boot up
Hi, Just to be sure: do I create the /initrd dir in the /boot dir? Would it matter if i have the same your README.WARNING file in it? Maybe i don't get it but why is a simple text file in /initrd would take that error message away? Is it related to the fact that i changed the kernel for a new one (kernel-2.4.8.31.2 on ML 8.0) Thanx.

Thank you in advance Song you mean how to make /initrd dir? just su to root and make it, it's all there is to it. [user@localhost user]#su Password: ( enter your root password here ) [root@localhost user]# ( notice the prompt, you are root now ) [root@localhost user]# mkdir /initrd note: i just checked, i looked at my /initrd ( done this before long time ago, just didn't remember ) it has a file on it README.WARNING which reads (mkinitrd) Don't remove this directory, it's needed at boot time, in the initrd, to perform the pivot_root. i hope this solved your problem. ;o) Damian The error was exactly (at the boot) : change root to /initrd: error -2 Is the minus 2 (-2) the same??

Lucky enough, i saw your mail in the archive and it fit my question. After searching for a while in the archive, i read if it's not broken, dont fix it and i tried to ignore the error message. Anyway, Hope to hear from you or someone else. Song.
