I have started installation using hd.img burned to a floppy and at about one third of the package copying to hard disk, the installer could not continue, failing to install all following packages. Looking at the console log (one of the virtual terminals), I found that the second cd was not found. At the beginning I told the installer where to find the first iso cd image. As the installer does not ask for the others, I thought they would be found automatically at the same place the first one was found. Apparently the installer could not find the second and third iso cd images. Any clues on how to proceed in this case? I do not understand the "or if you ..." phrase. Dos rc1 mean release candidate number one? Do you mean booting from the second cd in order to do an iso image install? If yes, it is not feasible to me, as I do not have the discs, only the images stored in a hard disk. > Please note that this thread belongs on the 'newbie' or 'expert' list, > 'cooker' is for development related discussion only (not that there > isn't a fair amount of OT ;P). Yes, I should know about this. But being for years on the cooker list alone, seeing the evolution of Mandrake Linux, but not yet using it (I was waiting the correct moment to jump from RHL), it does not come to me subscribing to the other Mandrake lists. I will do it now, and follow them. Thanks. Romildo -- Prof. Jos� Romildo Malaquias <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Departamento de Computa��o - Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto Brasil
