Hi,
I'm trying to install 8.0. I downloaded
the two iso images, burned them,
and when I put the inst CD in the drive, it
just sits there (under w98/2000).
I downloaded the iso images through IE, and burned them on a W98 platform
usin Easy-CD Creator (the Adaptec one). It looked like the right setup.
Is the idea that it will boot from the CD
when the machine is restarted? If
so, what about creating a floppy to boot
with, that then will start the
install from the cd?
My box is a formerly naked PC, with ASUS P5A board, 392MB RAM, CyberDrive
CD, Adaptec AVA-1505 SCSI card for the CD. When this SCSI/CD combo was on
a former machine, I was able to use it to install RH6.1, but it needed a
boot disk. After installing RH, it was never able to access the CD again,
and I got busy with other stuff. The current box runs W2000, but less so
in the future, hopefully.
If I want to make a floppy to start the installation, where do I do that?
Can I use one from the Mandrake 7.1 installation?
I need a few suggestions. Thanks in advance.
William
