Hi everyone,

I've finally managed to get my copy of 8.2 PPC sent to me after 4 months
wait, you can tell things are bad at Mandrakesoft eh ? Now I need to try
and install it, but the only problem is, I don't have a CDROM drive (and
can't get one). I presume it must be possible to install it some other
way on my 3400C Mac ? FTP, Boot diskette then FTP ?

Although I've installed various flavours of Mandrake on x86
architectures, I have absolutely no experience with Macs whatsoever, so
please don't flame me for asking any dumb questions that might seem
obvious. I see from the current discussions that people are
experimenting with the latest 9.1 cooker, but I'd like to try my hand at
8.2 first.

Any hints ?

BTW, the MAC only has 48 MB RAM and 1.9 Gb disk space free. Will that be
sufficient to install a workstation and network client access, a
graphical desktop or two etc, etc ?

TIA,


Alex THurgood
