I am using HP Easy CD Creator, that according to what I read I did a test file with an ".iso" extension. I double clicked on it and Easy CD Creator executes to burn a ISO image. Thanks everyone!!!

[newbie] Mandrake 7.1 ISO image
Ok, so GRUB can go beyond the cylinder 1024. I am dowloading then the ISO image of Mandrake 7.1. I am half the way of completing the download. I looked for a howto on burning iso images into CD, but found none. At the places I found something it was only a "please refer to your CD-R manual". What is the procedure to burn an ISO image into a CD to make it bootable? Do I burn it just like that? Thanks again!

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.1 ISO IMAGE
I had this problem only when installing on my laptop-couldn't get the darn drive to open!! When I upgraded to 7.1 final from the beta versions I basically just walked away after indicating which additional packages i wanted, because it took so long for the package installatiion to initialize. I was surprised when I came back to it that it had asked for the 2nd CD and the drive was already open, just waiting. Maybe we have to let the 'install' open the drive? No intervention on our part, just wait and see if the drive pops out. That's what happened to me. Eunice
Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.1 ISO IMAGE
I had the same problem while trying three different times to install disk 1 and 2 of Mandrake 7.1. I couldn't open the cd drive door and it didn't have a hole to open in manually. The third time, I used another cd driveand manually opned the drawer. However, all three times the installation hung up at that point. I managed to get a complete install by using the "text" upgrade auto install. I don't remember it asking for the second disk, so sometime, I'll explore how to get some of those packages off the extension disk.
