Guest DJ-CHRIS Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 (edited) So I am trying to install mandrake linux 10.1 on my new PC. This was a downloaded version. I have a copy of 8.2 but the drivers are too old and it completly wont work. Ok so my problem is when i burn the cd, all I get is a flashing underscore on the top left corner. I need help burning it with nero. I am burning it as a boot cd with the boot image as cdrom.img. I use ISO cracker to turn the ISO into useful stuff. I will hapilly redownload the file if needed, since the 3 ISO's were on their a week ago, and not on the offical mandrake site anymore. Also i don't know how to run md5checksum in winblows. Feel free to write this in HTML, or I can rewrite this in HTML and put it on my (linux) server. Love your spell check and smilies, spell check would help me at some forums EDOT: Im smart enough i did try the search feature first btw.

tyme Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 (edited) doing md5sums is explained here for windows. as far as burning the cd's, you shouldn't need the cdrom.img image. all you need is to burn the 3 ISO's to a CD via nero's "burn image" option (i don't remember where that's at exactly) and you should be able to boot with the first CD. don't break the ISO's down with a cracker, just use burn image and nero should take care of the rest. here's a good explanation of what i'm talking about: http://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2000/01/msg00002.html Edited December 7, 2004 by tymark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannonfodder Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 why don't you tell us what OS you are working with first..? Also, just bought a linux mag (at borders) that has Mandrake 10.1 bundled (about 15 bucks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
