It didn't work, nor did any reasonable variation that I could think of, so, having nothing to lose, I employed rule 99: When in doubt, cheat. I stuck a usb fedora stick and the mandriva stick in while running xandros, and copied syslinux from fedora to mandriva. I didn't expect it to work but it did, and Mandriva is working perfectly happily now. All that's left is to do a usb stick with windows, and I can handle pretty much anything from my EeePC :-) Anne -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
