Re: [newbie] Bad Installation Cd - STILL
Well, you can also install mandrake from the ISO images located on de HDD. Just make those boot disks, than install on text mode. Then you choose install from hdd, and write the path where the images are located. (ie: (i dont remember, but something like that) /dev/hda/linux/mandrake/) Almost everytime, i install from the images on HDD. Milasch Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Bad Installation Cd - STILL

I wonder if it is just not recognizing your Philips drive...have you checked the Hardware Compatibility List? Does it give you a list of drivers to choose from? If so, look for yours, if you don't see it there may be a generic driver that will at least get you going. Don't give up, it's too late for that, we won't let you. If all else fails, there's the network install, then we get the system up and running and make sure your cdrw will work with Linux. Don't be afraid of the network install, it takes a lot longer, but hey, what's the rush on a lazy Sunday afternoon? -- Joehill Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: http://nodex.sytes.net 15:28:59 up 16:08, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.03, 0.00 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

If it has one file you need to record a new CD by Click on 'New', then select 'Create CD from Iso CD Image File', choose your ISO file and click 'Open'.

Just go to the Mandrake site and in the installation intructions there are some floppy images you can download. One is for network install. Write the floppy image in windows (instructions are on the site). Just boot from the floppy, the rest should take care of itself. -- Joehill Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: http://nodex.sytes.net 16:06:25 up 16:46, 2 users, load average: 0.02, 0.01, 0.00 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
