i'm jumping in a little late on this, so forgive me if these points have already been covered.
1. did you check the md5 checksums of the downloads? 6f1581974e12420fef87868ed6caa31f Mandrake91-cd1-inst.i586.iso 87afe11ddef6b619866322aa0797e45f Mandrake91-cd2-ext.i586.iso ff187c7a552722f42790b5726fdb62b3 Mandrake91-cd3-i18n.i586.iso refer to http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/ftp.php3 http://www.md5summer.org/ if the md5 checksums match, it doesn't matter what the name or extension is, be it rar or iso or whatever. just rename it. 2. are you burning the files properly? you need to answer this question. to help answer the question, refer to http://www.linuxiso.org/viewdoc.php/isofaq.html in fact, i think http://www.linuxiso.org/viewdoc.php/isofaq.html#whatisiso http://www.linuxiso.org/viewdoc.php/isofaq.html#badburn answer two questions you brought up previously. 3. i apologise, cos i dun remember which program you used to burn your iso images. having said that, i think general consensus is that Nero is the one of the best program to use to creating Linux installation disks (of most distros) under windoze. you may wanna try using the trial version at http://www.nero.com may save you lotsa time that you otherwise spend troubleshooting. good and simple instructions can be found at http://www.linuxiso.org/viewdoc.php/neroburning.html 4. good luck. ;-) ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2003 00:14 Subject: Re: [newbie] Install - supported CD drive > ok, on linuxmandrake.com my Cd drive is listed as known hardware > and has been reported as compatible. so, ummm, now what? and i > still have a feeling i'm just doing something wrong in my burning of > the CD. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com >
