    Hey all,

    I just downloaded Linux Mandriva, and slapped it onto a disk, And when i set to boot from the CDROM drive, it keeps coming up as "No Boot Devices found"


    Any ideas?

    what version did you download /which filename(s) ?

    I have seen some versions that come on 3 cd's and one cd for documentation.

    Where exactly does it say no boot devices found - do you get anything other than that at any point through bootup ?

    This may sound patronising - (its not meant to) - but - did you extract the .iso file to make a bootable CDROM ? ie if you browse the cd at a windows machine can you see the folder structure and read from it ok ?

    It says "No bootable Devices"

    This is the one i got,

    ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/mandrake/Mandrakelinux/official/iso/10.2/x86_64/
    And yeah, I did extract.

    Thanks,

    You're not supposed to extract. The ISO image is already bootable. You need to burn it as an image.

    eg. Nero: http://www.linuxiso.org/viewdoc.php/neroburning.html

    The current release of Mandriva is 2006. 10.2 (aka Mandriva 2005 LE) is the previous release. You may want to grab a 2006 image in order to have the latest goodies. I suggest the mini CD installer - a one CD installer with KDE and a selection of the most popular apps.
    Mandriva-Linux-Free-Mini-2006-CD.x86_64.iso

    Are you sure the Celeron M supports EM64T 64 bit extensions? If it doesn't, the x86_64 version won't run. You need the i586 version.
    Mandriva-Linux-Free-Mini-2006-CD.i586.iso

    After installation you can add packages from the online repositories.
