my problem is I install cooker from my firewall, to my play machine
(firewall is mandrake 7.0). I want to reinstall on my firewall as I just
bought a promise u66 controller for that machine, and I don't have the space
to do a HD install on that machine (all the HD's are being used). So I want
to burn CD's to install on that machine, then rpm upgrade when new packages
come out.
