That seems to be oriented towards installing with a Windows partition on
your hard drive, which I don't have on my Linux box. I'm going to give a
try to copying the rpms to /var/Mandrake/{RPMS|RPMS2|RPMS3} on my minimal
installed system, and then fire up the hd.img-created floppy and tell it to
grab stuff from /var/Mandrake (and hope it can find the individual RPM
directories). I'll try varients if that doesn't work. If I'm barking up
the wrong tree here, please let me know! :-)
Thanks for the information.
