Hi,
Could someone tell me the correct layout the files/folders should be on a DVD install.
I have tried a few ways but told everytime that there is no Mandrake on the CD.
latest try has this layout:

/
/doc
/dosutils
/images
/Mandrake/
-base/.......
-mdkinst/.....
-RPMS
-share/...

I get the DVD to boot up OK and go to main install screen then it asks for installation source but CD cannot find files.

I have a DVD from a magazine which works for drake 9.0 but I cannot copy this layout over,

thnx in advance

I don't have a DVD burner, but how much free space is left on the disk with the Mandrake on it? Just curious.

well, i don't know what a dvd layout is, but i'll take a look at the cd layout....


/docs
/dosutils
/images
/isolinux
/Mandrake
/misc

and then other files.

I gave up in the end and copied files to another PC and used ftp install
The file layout is exactly the same as on the DVD and it found it OK
Weird.
