[olug] Mandrake CD

[Aaron Grothe]

I had a similar problem with Redhat 8.0.  We had a machine that could boot
off of the cd-rom but couldn't boot off the 8.0 cd-roms.  Our machines were 
old Microns Pentium 166s to give you an idea of about where I think the
cut off is.

Mandrake 9.0 moved from using syslinux to isolinux.  Syslinux emulates a
2.88mb floppy at the front of the cd-rom, isolinux doesn't.

You'll have to cut the boot floppies and install with those.

Regards,

Aaron

 This Set of CD's don't seem to be Bootable.  Has anyone else
noticed this and is it fixable?

Thanks,
Nate
