I tried doing a search for this, but didn't turn up anything usable. I have MandrivaLinux 2006 on DVD. There was no problem installing it to my portable computer because the CD drive is a combined CD/DVD player. However, my standalone desktop has a CD drive that's only a CD player. There is an external combined CD/DVD burner, but the desktop computer doesn't recognize it at boot. I tried burning the boot.iso to a CD using K3b, but I must've done something wrong, because my system completely ignored it even though it will boot from a CD. So I guess it wasn't bootable.
I thought about making the boot floppy, but I wasn't sure how to tell it to look in the external CD drive (on my system as /mnt/cdrom2). What are my options? Is there a primer somewhere on the best way to copy the contents of the DVD to CDs? How do I keep it bootable once copied to the CDs? Any guidance would be appreciated.
