Why can't he burn one? It should be legal. -=Ron=- -Original Message- From: Charles A Edwards [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 15, 2000 12:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] FAQ: Installing mandrake in my laptop Mauricio Part of this is guess work and hopfully someone out there will correct me if I am wrong. You will have to buy Mandrake since burning a CD is not an option. The Linux Mandrake 7.0 Complete can be purchased at Office Depot, Staples or any of those type stores for $29. You will be able to install using your SCSI CDROM but as you already know you will not be able to use your CDROM once you boot into Linux and you will probably need to use a Windows startup disk to load the drivers for the CDROM in order to be able to start the installation program for Mandrake. The minimum. installation size is 600MB so you would be able to do that on an 800MB HD. Good luck to you if you decide to do it.

My Mandrake7 cd was burned. Well by maximumlinux but, it was still burned free of charge.

Re: [newbie] FAQ: Installing mandrake in my laptop
Paul Since all he said he had was an old SCSI CDROM I did not believe that he would have a CD-RW and therfore he would have no way to burn a CD. I was giving suggestions for the hardware he said he had .

Re: [newbie] FAQ: Installing mandrake in my laptop
