dadacula Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 I am a newbie and just downloaded a copy of MandrakeMove(MandrakeMove-i586.iso). I have no cd-burner, but daemon. The question is how I can boot from daemon? Should I install any other softwares? Many thx in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoegoo Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 I am afraid it is impossible to boot from daemon tools. Windows has to be booted for daemon tools to work, while MandrakeMove (and most other Linux distribution for that matter) must be used without having Windows booted. There are a few distributions which run on top of Windows, however I don't believe they work on NTFS partitions. My recommendation is to have a friend burn the iso for you, buy a burner for yourself (you can get a very highly rated Lite-On drive from newegg.com for about $35) or buy the cd from a site like cheapbytes.com.

dadacula Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Thx for ur help. I got another question: How can I burn a Bootable Cd? Should i use Nero to burn ISO image directly? And what is move.md5sum.asc for? What is "MD5 checksum:8f7970b4960dff5e7825deeb8a515ee3 MandrakeMove-i586.iso" for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 the move.mdsum.asc it's used to check and make sure the file didn't get corrupted during download. you use a program called "checksum", there are directions for it in one of our FAQ's: here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
