Hi,
I can't install over network because Tokenring and Thinkpad is not supported
in the plain installation-subtree (each Thinkpad-type has different settings
for the ibmtr_cs).
Anyway until now I always installed the cooker from a mirrored HD-partition
but this don't works anymore.
Until now I always needed only the following directorys for successful install:
Mandrake/RPMS and Mandrake/base
Is it true that I need now also Mandrake/mdkinst ? What is the purpose of the
Mandrake/base/mdkinst_stage2.gz ?
Udo
