Change 7CD setup to 1 DVD setup
Keeping 7 Mandrake 9.2 CD's around is a pain in the butt, especially when it comes to individual package installation. I have tried, using Winimage, to create a new ISO image (and a rather large one at that) composed of all 7 CD's copied into one directory, and then I copied the boot information as well. Using Vmware, installation starts out fine until it checks for the right CD, in which it thinks I have the wrong one in the drive, and I am forced to quit until I fix the problem.
Is there an easy way to get around this restriction? I realize that I can't put all the files onto one DVD, but I can put 5 or 6 of the CD's onto one DVD and that would be a significant help, but I won't be able to do this unless I can figure out what setup files to modify so it knows what to look for during installation, not to mention during individual package selection.
Thanks.
