It is all in the thread "[Cooker] 7.0 release delayed" in the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. Follow that thread back with your
threaded email client (we all use one, don't we?).
FWIW, the original README.img is below. Note that this file has now been
replaced on the mirrors by another which no longer contains that final
paragraph.
-------------------------
The following files are boot images which correct a problem
in the ISO image mandrake70.iso dated Jan 12, 2000:
cdrom-2.img: install from CD-ROM
hd-2.img: install from hard-disk
network-2.img: install from ftp/nfs/http
pcmcia-2.img: install from pcmcia devices
If you intend to install Linux-Mandrake from mandrake70.iso on a machine
that already has Windows installed, you must start the installation
process with a bootable floppy disk created from cdrom-2.img, as
described in the files INSTALL and install.htm. Although a CD created
from mandrake70.iso is bootable, using such a CD to start the
installation may result in some cases in corruption of your Windows
partition if it is resized during the installation. To use the boot floppy:
1. Place the floppy in your first floppy drive (A:) and reboot your machine.
The installation procedure will be started from the floppy.
2. If prompted, select your CD-ROM drive from the list provided.
3. When prompted, insert CD #1 and continue the installation.
Note: On some systems you will need to insert both the floppy and the
CD together and reboot. In this case, be sure that the install starts
from the floppy and not the CD.
A new ISO image mandrake70-2.iso correcting the problem will be
available shortly.
Keeping its dedication to quality, MandrakeSoft has chosen to postpone
the commercial release of its Linux-Mandrake 7.0 distribution to ensure
a maximal quality for this product.
