ISO install question.

[ASCI Blue]

I tried to make a mandrake 7.2 from the freq install using the ISO but not burned onto a CD. I got some wierd error and couldn't do it, is this because I used a hdd install disk instead of a CD or is installing from an ISO as a .iso file not possible?

as root, after you boot to the install process, do this:

Go to a new console
mount your partition that has the iso on it
mount the iso
( losetup /dev/loop0 /path/to/file.iso )
( mount -t iso9660 /dev/loop0 /place/to/mount)

and then do a hard drive install - from where you had it mounted as the source.

Okay, I'll try that. :)
