Hi

i ve installed Fedora Core 3 in my system. now i want to install Mandrake 10.1 from the Feb. Digit mag. But i could nt find a way to install without burning the image.

i created a boot floppy but the installation method does not provide an option to set the path to the ISO images. is there any method ??

extract the iso image, and put the RPMS in a folder on a partition. While installation you can tell the installer the path for the RPMS directory

Hi

what are the steps? i created a boot floppy using the cdrom image. the floppy boots me into the installation screen. and there i started the standard installation. (which installation method i need to select here? ). then it shows a screen that displays my two CD drives and asks to select which is the source. no options there to set the path. Then how can i set the path to the RPMs.
in Fedora i used the linux askmethod installtion and it showed me an option to set the path to the ISOs. but here i couldnt find an option. HELP!
