how to get mandrake cd's from raw tree?
Mandrake has a new system which only allows the Silver Members to get the ISO's until the retail products are available.
For the time being Mandrake expects use to download the OS from the raw tree. does anyone know how to get the data from the raw tree onto the 3 CDs required for install? |
im trying to get the new mandrake 9.2
|
I'd just download the network.img boot disk image, put it on a floppy, and do a network install. Remember to write down the address of the ftp server, though!
As far as putting the tree on CD, I don't know how to do that. |
can't u urpmi by changing your media locations?
that way you should be able to upgrade to 9.2 (at least theoretically). |
65_289,
the network install may work. but i like to have the CDs. I'll try the network install if I dont hear feedback about how to make the CDs. abhay, Im not trying to upgrade. im trying to install on a new box. |
the network installed didnt work. it had errors installing some packages like ldconfig and glibc
I'm installing Mandrake 9.1 and i'll look into abhay's suggestion for upgrading after i get though the install. |
Mandrake 9.1 doesnt work.
looks like i'll be trying redhat 9 |
what was the problem with Mandrake 9.1? :-/
