To do a text install of 7.0 you will first need to make a boot floppy.
While running Windows insert your Mandrake install disk. Open it with My
Computer, open the dosutils folder, double click rawrite, this will open a
DOS window. For the image source file name enter
D:\images\txt_boot.img
(Replace D with your CD-Rom drive letter)
Copy to A and follow the on screen instruction to complete.
Once the boot floppy is completed leave both it and the Mandrake install
CD insertted and restart your comuter.
Very important!!!! Enter your BIOS and change first boot device to floppy
instead of CD-ROM, save the settings and exit your BIOS,and allow your
computer to restart.
When the Mandrake boot screen comes up press enter for a normal install.
. You are now installing Linux Mandrake 7.0 in text mode.
Good luck.
Charles
