Anybody know if one can yet install mandrake from an external ieee1394 (firewire) cdrom?
I do see a /mnt/cdrom1/images/usb.img and I think I have used it with my cdrom in a USB 2.0 external case (and the image does contain the usb-uhci module -- usb20 module). However, ieee1394 appears more stable and much faster using less cpu power (for obvious reasons). I believe the modules that would need to be included for an image would be ieee1394.o and ohci1394 (sbp2.o would also be a good module to include as it is for hard drive access (via ieee1394/firewire)). I did spend sometime trying to create my own ieee1394.img, however, failed and forget the problem that I was having. I believe it was something like I was able to package the image file with the ieee1394.o/ohci1394.o/sbp2.o modules but for some reason, the diskette wouldn't recognize the device. I do believe i was also ending up modprobing the modules manually. ...anyways...just a thought. -- Roger ----- Verify my pgp/gnupg signature on my homepage: http://www.eskimo.com/~roger/index.html
