satelliteuser083 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hope I'm not breaking too many rules by doing this, couldn't think of any other way :unsure: FOA Steve Scrimpshire, ref. https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=46444 Sorry for being so dim, but I do need some clarification: - is '/i586/isolinux/alt0/' where you put the .iso; if not, what do the path-components mean? - what is 'all.rdz'? - is '(hd1,0)' where you had 2007.1 One installed, or where you installed 2008? - and, is an installer simply an installer, or will a Mandriva installer only install Mandriva products, a Ubuntu installer Ubuntu products, etc? It certainly sounds like a great method, I'd like to use it as a general-purpose tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamw Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 And to answer the bit of your question not noted there - installers are specific to the distribution and version. A Mandriva installer won't install Ubuntu. A Mandriva 2008 installer won't install Mandriva 2008 Spring. An Ubuntu 8.04 installer won't install Ubuntu 7.10. So for Ubuntu you'd need to find their documentation for hard disk installation methods. Also you might want to note that on the page jkerr links to there's a USB-based installation option, which may be useful to you too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satelliteuser083 Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Quite a complex topic, but you've helped me a bit further down the line. Many thanks to you both. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
