I just tried cd3 and I am getting the same results as with cd1 and cd2. The cd drive spins and spins for a few minutes and then stops, not recognizing the cd.
I'm not really sure how to burn a copy of the mirror, not using the iso's. I understand how to use rsync to copy the files from a mirror to my machine, but not how to put the installer etc. onto cds. Thanks for helping me out with this. - Paul On Sun, 2002-08-11 at 09:31, Tom Whiting wrote: > On Sunday 11 August 2002 08:12 am, Paul Rodriguez wrote: > > Hello, I am having trouble using the 9.0b iso's.
