I was trying to install Mandriva Linux Free 2006 to a PC that was
previously running Mandrake Linux 10.1. I was proceeding through the
install and decided to re-format my root partition to install
Mandriva. When it came time to present me with a list of packages to
install, I got the error message: "No hdlists". I tried twice, and got
the same message twice.
I looked at the contents of the CD-ROM, and I found hdlists in the
/media/media-info directory. This was #1 of 3 CD-ROM's I downloaded as
iso's and burned to CD's. Is there any way around this problem besides
re-burning another CD in hopes that it will work?
Thanks,
Scott

Please tell me you MD5summed the ISOs. Since you run 10.1 just install
qemu then try the ISOs there. If it boots then you'll know you did it
right. Another thing you can do is to download a net install CD and
maybe use the data on the CD-roms but I dunno if that'd be a good idea
since the CDs are probably burned wrong. Also I've found it works best
on CD-Rs and not CD-RWs for some reason.
