I've just purchases the The Complete Linux
Operating System 6.0 software package and I am having trouble with
installation.
I thought maybe someone could help me out.
I am having trouble in the installation process after choosing an installation from Local cd-rom and Other CDROM. After this point, I have to choose the driver for the cdrom drive. I have an aztech cdrom drive, but when I choose this option (or any other) I receive the error message "I can't find the device anywhere on your system!" I then tried copying the mandrake directry of the cd (1) to a new partition and attempted to install from the hard drive. i get an error message that says that it doesn't think that the mandrake directry tree is where i specified it is when i specify the correct partition. I'm running a 486 dx2 66 with a 2 speed IDE aztech cdrom drive on an aztech sound card (no SCSI devices for anything). I should also mention that on my 486, the cd-rom drive is
plugged in with a ribbon to the soundcard as opposed to the next
computer.
i've tried booting into dos and running autoboot
also, i've tried using the boot disk I've also tried installing on a separate computer with a
different cd-rom drive. This one is a k6-166 with a 16x Toshiba
(ATAPI) CD-ROM drive. Everything similar. With this computer,
I just booted with the boot disk, and ran the installation program. Again,
the cd-rom drive couldn't be located. I even tried this with the
previous 2x aztech cd-rom drive from the 486. I tried each cd-rom
drive as primary master, primary slave, secondary master, secondary slave - each
time I get the same previous error message about the installation program being
unable to find the device.
Thanks in advance,
