Re: [newbie] Mandrake-7.02.i486.iso ???
Hello Thanks a lot. Can I simply mount the CD with Mandrake-7.02.i486.iso on a P-133 with CD on the other side of the lab and then use it to install mandrake on the old 486? Regards Eduardo There is a way to do a net install via FTP (and maybe HTTP too). I've been tempted to try it, just to say I did, but haven't needed to. It involves making a boot disk which contains an extremely small version of linux. You boot off the disk, and then into the installer, where you input the address of some ftp site which contains Mandrake. However, finding a non ISO of the i486 install might be hard. Blashpemous as it sounds, Red Hat might be a better choice for your particular installation. http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/Demo/Mandrake7/install/pages/install.html Has pointers on where to start. Pedantic as it sounds, you'll probably want a fast connection.

Yes, but it is not necessary to burn the ISO image.

[newbie] Mandrake 7.02-i486
Hi, I have installed V7.02 i486 on my old DX2/66 PC. When I try to login as root I get 'incorrect login'. If I login with the user I created during the install and 'su -' I can enter the root password and become root. Anyone seen this before?

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.02-i486
Yes. Depending on the security level you choose during login, you cannot log directly into the console as root. This is supposed to help in auditing which user became root and did something they shouldn't have when there is more than one root user.

Re: [[newbie] Mandrake 7.02-i486]
I believe your problem lies in the system security, lower it a notch or two...and ROOT will be able to login. Use DrakConf to access the system security.

[newbie] mandrake 7.02
I have Mandrake 7.0. I purchased it from LinuxCentral but where can I find 7.02
Re: [newbie] mandrake 7.02
Billit's actually 7.0-2 and you can effective update your 7.0 cd by downloading the appropriate floppy image from: ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/Mandrake/Mandrake/updates/7.00/images/ and making a boot floppy to boot from instead of booting from the 7.0 cd itself. Below are two vendors that I know are shipping the 7.0-2 cd. http://www.lsl.com/ http://www.LLand.com/products/sw/mandrake/default.asp Alan Bill Kinsey wrote: I have Mandrake 7.0.
