Hello,
First of I'd like to apologize if this seems to be a question asked before in the forums.
I have used the search function to find and read through other threads concerning making a DVD from the downloaded ISO files.
Basically I need someone to explain a couple of things to me about how to use the "MakeCD" and "mkcd" commands.
I tried to follow the guide on the following homepage:
members.shaw.ca/mandrake/drakx/HTML/section8.html
By following that guide I ended up with a DVD that can boot, and I can partition my harddrive. After that I get an error:
An error occurred
INTERNAL ERROR: No kernel available
MDK::Common::Various::internal_error() called from /usr/bin/perl-install/pkgs.pm:191
(There are more lines in the error message, to save space only the first three lines are presented here)
After some tries where none of the DVDs worked as they should, I tried a different approach.
I made a config file and tried to use "mkcd" instead. Here I didn't even get a DVD ISO to burn to a DVD!?
This is what my config file looks like:
#
10.0
list -k Mandrake/Mandrake/base/pubkey1 1
rpmlist -b Mandrake/Mandrake/RPMS
# download
disc 1 4700m 92DOWNLOAD1 "Installation CD 1 (x86)" "MandrakeLinux9.2-Download-1" -p Mandrakesoft
dir rpms Mandrake/RPMS
generic --synthesis rpms 1
advertising Mandrake/share/advertising/pwp-01.png
installation -o 50,3,0.1 --synthesis -l fr,it,en,de,es -t GuessWhat-download-i586 -i Mandrake/ -d 1/rpms
boot --isolinux isolinux -b isolinux/isolinux.bin --first Mandrake/isolinux -f Mandrake/images/
I have made a folder /cd/Mandrake on my system where I have copied all files from the CDs. All rpm files have been copied to /cd/Mandrake/Mandrake/RPMS.
Do I need to remove some files to get "mkcd" to work?
Is my config file OK?
Am I a total moron? (well, yes I think I am!
It can't be impossible to make a DVD?!)
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks for taking the time to read this thread.
