Urza9814 Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 (edited) Hey, my friend's got some mandrake disks that he says weren't burned from an ISO and aren't bootable, and when he tries to boot via floppy it says they aren't mandrake disks. Any way he can install from these? oh, the comp currently has installed DSL (Damn Small Linux), if that'll help any...and he has dial-up so he can't exactly DL the ISOs...

Cannonfodder Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Why don't you get the ISO images and save yourself a lot of trouble. You can doublecheck ISO's and make sure you have all the files. In truth, you only need the first disk (if donwloading is a chore or expensive) and can use the internet afterwards to download desired packages.

Urza9814 Posted February 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 the problem is that it took him...I think a day or two just to get the distro he has now...which is one of those business-card CD distros...it'd take him a month or two to get the ISO. I came up with a possible solution last night that I'm going to try to guide him through...I'm thinking if he makes a floppy with the network installer image, and copies all the files to another comp or something, he can install from there...but he can't find a working floppy...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
