It very likely won't work; my USB floppy gets created as /dev/sda and no-one seems to look for this (to make SuSE install I had to switch to a virtual console and symlink /dev/sda to /dev/fd0)...guess this is something else that could be looked at, if Mandrake expects to find fd0 :). Um, I could do this, but first can you confirm I can get to this stage in an install without breaking anything on a working system? Don't want to mess up my working SuSE install. This problem occurred with MDK 8.2, by the way - I haven't tried with Cooker, i'd rather keep release-version distros on the laptop. I tell you what - when 9.0 beta 2 comes out i'll burn those CDs and try it...is that OK? -- adamw
