I have attempted to set up my own Mandrake mirror and, once again, it doesn't seem to work right. Here's what I did:one thing that may be easier would be to mount the ISO's on the loopback device, and make links to the RPMS from a single directory. It won't work (well) for installs on a single machine, as you were doing, but it can make things much easier if you are setting up a network install server.
1. download the ISOs 2. create the directory /opt/mirror/mandrake/9.1/Mandrake 3. mount the first installation CD 4. create base image RPMS RPMS2 RPMS3 under the Mandrake dir. 5. copy the RPMS out of RPMS form disk 1 to ./RPMS 6. copy the images out of images 7. copy the base stuff out of base 8. move on to the next CD, copy the info in RPMS2 to ./RPMS2
Any help poinint out where I've gone wrong would be very helpful! For now I guess I'll reinstall RH 8 via the network (which DOES work from my own mirror).
Peace.
john
