can you boot your laptop off a floppy? assuming yu can then you can make the boot floppy from the hd.img file in /images on the 1st cd, copy the cdfiles to a partition on the notebook and boot i've only done this a couple of times so i'm not sure if you have to put the rpms in /Mandrake/RPMS2 of the 2nd cd in a directory of same name or lump them in with those in .../ RPMS, it may be that the hard disk install doesn't use those rpms - any one out there know this? bascule p.s. make boot floppies from the alternative 'hd.img's as well so you can reboot with them quickly if the main one doesn't work, my machine only works with install floppies using 2.2-BADZ2 - whatever that is On Thursday 23 August 2001 3:03 am, you wrote: > Can I install 8.1 off a hard drive vs. of CD distribution?
