Guest FenestraeNunquam Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 never tried d/l iso's before, but just tried getting the 9.0 iso's from this site. hmmm...even though I have DSL, estimated time left 65 hours for the first one.... ok, so that's over a week for 3 CDs any alternative sites for faster d/l's? I'm gonna buy the PowerPack soon, but I want to play around with 9.0 on my older computer first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FenestraeNunquam Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 all 3 iso's now downloaded. My computer is currently a dual-boot setup with win98se and Mandrake 8.1. Everything is working fine (LILO works good). My 40Gb H-D was partitioned automatically during my initial install of mdk 8.1 a year ago. Mandrake decided to give win98se 23.5Gb and the remaining 16.5Gb was partitioned for linux. Anyway, when I install my new 9.0 iso's, will they just install OVER my 8.1 partitions? I don't want 9.0 to repartition anything and I hope LILO doesn't get messed up - cuz its working fine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FenestraeNunquam Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 another question: The burning instructions that were on the above mentioned ftp site (instructions for Nero) say to select Data Mode 1, Block Size is 2048, Image Header & Image Trailer are -0-. Well, those settings are in the "foreign" section of Burn Image under Nero. All of those foreign settings are "greyed out" at least in my Nero. So then what?

Guest FenestraeNunquam Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 Never mind. The local Best Buy finally got the Mandrake 9.0 PowerPacks on the shelf. I just bought one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
