Phantom Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Can't you download at least CD1 to start the installation and then later update over the network with the DVD ? I don't know if Mandriva allows this, but you could also set up an FTP server your other machine, map the DVD and start a Network install.

ianw1974 Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 I had a similar situation for thinking of upgrading 10.0 to 10.1. I thought about using ssh, and then setting up a urpmi to point through the network to my dvd-rom drive in the other machine. Not sure if this is feasible or not!

Not sure if this is feasible or not! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Could be doable but then you need at least some version of Mandrake running on the machine.
