RE: [newbie] Install on formatted HD
Hello Newbies::: OK well as i found out, I made a boot disk for mandrake 7.1 I attached it to this email. (patch.pl) got it from linux-mandrake.com-- Its a perl script. ENJOY! PS: not to spam or anything, I made a newbie website for us linux users. It will be fully functional by the end of this week hopefully. Here is the URL: http://www.linux-newbies.com || and we also have a chatroom for realtime help on an IRC Server Called irc.dal.net - thought this might help the newbies. LATER F0lk Enjoy. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Steve Dressler Sent: Monday, September 25, 2000 8:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Install on formatted HD At 08:40 AM 9/25/00 -0400, you wrote: Do i need a boot disk to install it?

Re: [newbie] Install on formatted HD
IF you can boot from the CD your in business. If not you will need access to a working machine so that you can go to /dosutils (on the Linux Mandrake CD) and use rawrite to make the install boot disk you will need to boot the machine into Linux and do the install. -Gary- In a message dated 9/25/2000 8:41:51 AM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hello/morning I just formatted my C: drive.

Or go to /dosutils on the CD. There will be an information file that will tell you how to use rawrite to make a Linux install floppy, if your machine cannot boot from the CD. -Gary- In a message dated 9/25/2000 8:52:28 AM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: At 08:40 AM 9/25/00 -0400, you wrote: Do i need a boot disk to install it?
