installing mandrake 10.1

[gooba007]

Ok i downloaded the three cd's and burnt them. Unfortunately i put them in folders on the cds, so when i access the cd it starts with...

mandrake disk 1 = open

all the mandrake files.


ive made a floppy boot disk and restart my laptop.

when it reads the cd it comes up with the message

That cdrom disc does not seem to be a MandrakeLinux Installation cdrom.
Retry with another disc?

is this because i added the folder????

help me obi wan kenobi, your my only hope.

you should burn the downloaded files as images not just copy them to cd. Have you burnt the cd's as images?

[hendrix]

Yes.

Use a program such as Alcohol 120% to burn the .iso image to your cd's. Then, you will be ready to roll.
