Lately I've been doing this...
cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=0,2,0 -dao driveropts=burnfree /home/allen/play/MandrakeLinux-9.0rc2-CD3.i586.iso This seems to have made CD1 very reliable. EXCEPT that I encounter the same problems you do when trying to install into VMWare under main OS WinXP. Maybe there is some timing issue with the newer installer or the kernel that was not an issue with the older installer or kernel from 8.2. I got the feeling from trying to use VMWare that there is definitely some timing difference now that wasn't there before. -AEF On Monday 09 September 2002 09:22 pm, crazy mand wrote: > I used Tyan CD-RW 20/14/40 to install Mandrake (betas, > RCs).. alway gave me errors everytime; I've had > clicked "ignore" to keep the installations going.
