[newbie] hi -making- bootable CD

1999-06-20 Thread Anonymous

Hi Anybody!

I don't have a CD writer and I would like to download Mandrake 6.0 to my HDD
and bring it to somebody who can write a CD.
Which files do I have to copy to my HDD at least so that my my future CD
will bee bootable?
I saw the link at mandrake homepage but I didn't find it very much helpfull.
Please tell me something clever!

Thanks in advance, bzsolt!

Rather than going thru the hassle of downloading, ( many hours!), go to
http://www.cheapbytes.com ,or linuxmall, and order the cdrom. $1.99 for the cd,
and $5.00 shipping, and you'll have it in 3-4 days. While you're there, get
several distros, at $1.99 each, and the whole shebang will come in one package
for $5.00.
Try 'em all!!

Have fun

Cliff

Agreed - and if you download, and the software won't work, how will you 
know if it's a problem in the download , or ?? Cheapbytes gives very good 
and quick service. I've bought from them:  Slackware, RedHat, SuSE, and
Mandrake. No complaints.
