When I run the hd.img, I get up to the point where it asks me where the
Mandrake/base and /RPMS are located then after I enter the info, it says
something to the effect: "no cooker tree found" or something like that. I
then enter the info again and it says "mount failed; no such device". When
I try to boot back into Linux - I can't get in. I've already lost the
windows partition and didn't want to mess with reinstalling it so I've made
subsequent tries after loading only Linux. With the time it takes to
reinstall, I'm afraid to try again. I've tried using the script on your
site for making two iso images but end up with the install iso image that's
636MB and the 'ext' cd being 766MB (a little too big). When trying to boot
from the cdrom, the installer hangs on not being able to find a driver for
the cdrom and won't except any of the options given and after reboot, leaves
me (again) with an unuseable system.
Anyway, I've been stumped ~ I can't seem to think of ANY way to get cooker
loaded, I've failed every time.
Thanks, Mike
