I've always been hazy on this subject. Does anyone want me to see if I can bring an iPaq embedded with a modified version of debian, used to run a speech program? Was it Andrew that got the job doing graphics on none other than HP2 etc etc who was going to do a talk on how it works? Did I miss that? Jen

If you root around on the first CD there should be a folder called "images", with .img files. You could then make a floppy boot disk for Mandrake and do it using that. If you are in Windows, you can use rawwrite.exe (in dosutils on the CD), if you are in Linux: su to root mount the cdrom insert floppy disk, then do this command:- dd if=/mnt/cdrom/images/cdrom.img of=/dev/fd0 when it is done copying files, issue "reboot" or "shutdown -r now" with the floppy in the drive, and hey presto, the install will begin.

Mandrake install problem
by Russell Ward 25 Jun '02

25 Jun '02

Whilst installing Mandrake from a CDROM the machine crashed, at the config X Windows stage (the long list of video cards). One result is that 'startx' doesn't work , server error no. 2. I posted a couple of weeks ago on this topic. Thanks to those whose responded. I have since tried installing the various XFree86 packages, but with no success. My idea now is simply to reinstall the entire OS from the CD, but I no longer have Win 98, so could someone tell me what command to use to start the install again? Again, I am new to Linux, so please excuse my sounding clueless.....

> Whats wrong with Mac Users? They have a strange look in their eyes. They smell funny. They spend all day on photoshop designing things. ;) It was a tongue-in-cheek gesture, this mac user is my beloved eldest sister, and most of my partners have been artists and therefore Mac users. But Mac users still smell funny, though. *giggle* >These I think are stuffit files see > http://www.stuffit.com they do Linux binaries (see the > download section) but these have a buy or evaluate option. Yeah, that was what I was trying to avoid. It seems macutils doesn't have it, and I dislike adding things that aren't .debs ... (unsit isn't in Woody) I think I'll ask her to zip it. I'm sure she can do that (famous last words)... -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze
