Hi All,
My CD1 of my 9.2 install set is buggered.
Does anyone know where I can lay my hands on a .torrent file for LM9.2 CD1, pref ISO file?
Many thanks,
JRH
To the best of my knowledge the only torrents for Mandrake 9.2 are those that pull down the entire release. All three ISOs.
I suppose bit torrent has it's advantages, in my opinion primarily for downloading and sharing new releases. But in your case, since you only need 1 of the disks and possibly the md5sum file, why don't you just download the disk you need? 700 MB (roughly) versus 2 GB (roughly) for the entire release? Would that not save on your bandwidth use?
I think you could probably find a mirror for this yourself, but since you're in the U.K. you will probably get fast transfer rates from a sever in Paris?

Good luck; Charlie
If you're in a hurry, try booting from the second CD, and when it asks you, replace it with the first CD. If it's only your boot image that's "Borked", that should get you up and running right away, while you're waiting for the download.
As a side note, i typically keep the original ISO's until the version is no longer supported. That way i can burn as many as i want without having to download them repeatedly. You might want to burn a set of ISO's to CD and keep them as your master copies for situations just like this.
