Dear friends:
I am reinstalling my Mandrake 6.1 by FTP. When I type ftp.rpmfind.net
and the directory (/linux/Mandrake/6.1/Mandrake) I keep getting the
error message: "Unable to load the second stage of ram: file not on
server". I have tried other sites and I keep getting the same message. I
had no problem dowloading the entire Mandrake 6.1 (825 pacakges, 1,250
meg) a few nights ago. Of course, I downloaded it much later at night
(around 1 or 2 CST). Could time be a factor here if even the site
clearly has openings?
Here are the data of my bootnet.img as "copied" using "dd if=bootnet.img
of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k" (without the quotes and WITHOUT mounting).
Thank you so much.
In a quandary.
Benjamin
