Re: [newbie] 7.2 ISO's
Hi, I still have them here if you still need them - but I don't have a server where you can download them, what snailmail address do you have ?

[newbie] 7.2 ISO's
Hi Guys, I'm looking for an old copy of the 7.2 ISO's. I've tried repeatedly to install 8.0 and 8.1 on my antique beast(133/64MB), however it will only install w/ the 2.2 kernel (it WILL NOT boot the 2.4 worth crap). Now I can get it to install and boot 2.2 but as most of the packages have been optimized for 2.4, as has the install, it does not work that well. If anyone knows where I can grab a copy of 7.2 I would greatly appreciate it. Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] 7.2 iso's
Why not use 8.0? 7.2 is quite old now, having been released around October last year. All 7.2 final (i.e. not beta) isos are the same -- they were created for the 7.2 release. You are supposed to install these and use MandrakeUpdate to update the installation to the newest packages.

Re: [newbie] 7.2 ISO's
Did you burn the ISO image file to the CD directly (i.e. if you look at the CD's contents you see only the ISO file) or did you actually extract the ISO and burn it as an image? You are supposed to do the latter, and most CD recording programmes (mkisofs/cdrecord, Nero, Adaptec Easy CD Creator) are made to handle this.

It shows up ok as an executable on the cdrom but it is not You have to go one step beyond choosing a file system format. You didn't mention what software you're using so I've got to stay generic with advice but what you need to do if find the option that lets you "create an image", "create a raw image" or something like that. > a self starter.

Can't find anything in the archives or in the other help sites Jump into your bios and set things up so you can boot off the CD and do that. Cheers --- Larry
