On this topic...
I downloaded Linux Mandrake 7.0 CD Image and burned in on a CD.
The burn was successful and verified out perfectly...
BUT! When I went to do an install, the installer is missing a package
when you select everything. That did not bother me since I can get that
package online if I really need it. The major problems I hit was it
could not detect my NIC's, Install Lilo properly, the documentation is
broken, and when I make it boot up off of the floppy, every service
reports "Wrong kernel version."
Now, I have downloaded it 3 time and burned 12 CD's trying different
options. Is there something wrong with the iso image on Mandrake's
site?
Here I thought I would try to take a cheap way out by downloading it
instead of buying the box set. With all the hassle and time wasted, I
think I would have been better off ordering a copy...
