Usually you use a program called "rawrite.exe" in DOS, or "dd" in Linux. You write a 1.44MB file straight to floppy from a "boot image". Often vendors ship a selection of "bootimages" for different hardware combinations. Virtually anything that is going to run a desktop with Mandrake 7 sensibly is going to allow booting from CD ROM in BIOS. I'll leave network installs to those that have done them with INTEL, I've only done Windows 3.11, HP-UX and Solaris over the network. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
