Re: [newbie] LM7 installation woes, continued
Well, I forget how I did it but these are the files I have on my TEXT-INSTALL floppy: boot.msg339 help.msg866 initrd.img 927483 ldlinux.sys 5480 syslinux.cfg420 vmlinuz 498701 bytes Eric Kenny wrote: I'm having the same problem Upon doing an alt.f2 f3 and f4 i've seen messages that like file or folder not found if you run autoboot you get a text install but that too runs into problems thee is something definately wrong somewhere - Original Message - From: "Kaplan, Paul" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 22, 2000 10:00 PM Subject: [newbie] LM7 installation woes, continued OK. So I've searched various help resources to find out why I can't use the hd.img or txt_boot.img file on the mandrake_70-2 CD files to install LM 7.0 from my local hard drive. Only got two responses. Neither led to a solution. Since there seems to be an error in the *img files, does anyone know a way to de-compile these files and then recompile them? While you're at it, any idea what I'd look for in the source to see why the img files refuse to see my hard drive? Also, how come queries to mandrake installation tech support go unanswered even to registered users?

i have that diretory still cant install :-( Kenny - Original Message - From: "Kaplan, Paul" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2000 4:19 PM Subject: RE: [newbie] LM7 installation woes, continued I finally got a helpful answer from LM. The installation manual leaves out a critical item...In addition to copying the /Mandrake/Base and /Mandrake/RPMS directories to your local hard drive, you must also copy the /Mandrake/mdkinst directory. This enabled me to use DrakX for installation. It seems that this should also work for text installation. Hooray!
