I have found a couple of problems with the installer for ppc beta. IF
they have already been discussed please ignore me and or tell me. Here
are a couple of bug on the installer for old world machines that I have
run into:
The default RAM disk size for bootx is 8192kb. This error's out on boot
Now when I looked, it appears that the mirrors have been updated. I must
have been looking in between stuff. *sigh* Always seems to happen that
way.
Thanks,

No, you do not want to use Shrinkwrap. Not only is Shrinkwrap unable to
mount or otherwise do something useful with the iso image, it may actually
corrupt it for you.
The only things you need are "Shorten" (http://www.hornig.net/shorten.html)

i'm pretty sure that you need to burn the iso to the cd in order for it to
work. if you don't have access to a burner you might have to explore other
ways of installing linux on your computer. there is a way to do a network
install(not sure how but maybe someone here could help) or you could

Just curious as to which mirror might be the most up-to-date. I've used
secsup in the past, but it didn't seem to be that up-to-date when I last
tried to mirror from there (a couple weeks ago) as I received several
thousand errors when I attempted to run gendistrib. I was just checking the
dates
I downloaded the 8.2 beta of mandrake off of an ftp this time
(fetch) but again the same problem, the file is

Hi everibody,
what is the best way to have support and help on installing Mandrake after
having bought the CDs I posted emails to some people, and and the
Mandrake Website but, for the moment, there is no answer at all.
Thanks

Now when I installed Mandrake 8.2beta, I can not mount cdrom. In
fstab there is a device scd0, but in dev directeroy there is empty
cdrom directory.
How should I mount cd? Mandrake can not help. And I have new cdrom
that came with G4/733Mhz installed. How I get cd out, when ecect

Hmm, right. I still get the connection problem even
with 10.1.3, though admittedly less common.
Getting the Creative ModemBlaster - thanks everyone
for their help, esp. Oliver!

To think about it, that's why sometimes when the modem

That does not necessarily mean it's corrupted. Check the MD5 sums! A utility
for mac that can do this is Shorten, available from
