No CD-R's, lots of HDD space
« on: 3 August 2003, 02:34 »
So here is my problem:
I have bought a new HDD, and I want to install Mandrake Linux on it. I've made an ext3 partition + swap. When I was about to download Mandrake Linux ISO's, I found out that I ran out of CD-R's.

Is there a way to install ALL the 3 CD's of Mandrake Linux without the burning CD-R's part?

Yes.

In fact, with this disk image, you don't even need to download the images at all:

you laugh at it and say 'silly mandrake, second/third CDs are for people with spare blank disks'
