Ixthusdan Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 I've never done it, but it would work only if the installer can read from ntfs. Mandrake proper does, but I am not sure about the installer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwiftDeath Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 You can burn it onto a cd, but I'm assumming you don't a burner. You could try to shrink part of your filesystem and create a new FAT one just for the insallation. Linux can write to a fat filesystem perfectlly fine. The most commonly used linux filesystems are eitheir ext3 and reiser. Best Of Luck, SwiftDeath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
