[ale] Mandrake 9.2 Install Error

[dmcnash at charter.net (Doug McNash)]

Pretty obscure...

On Redhat install disks CD1://RedHat/base/hdlist[2] are 
files generated by /lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist.  They 
contain dependency info on the .rpm files. (I know this 
because I just completed a network booting kickstart setup 
with a set of updated RH9 rpms - would be great for an 
installfest! - and had to regen my hdlist and hdlist2 to 
get it to load the proper rpms)  

Sounds like Mandrake uses the same system [anaconda] and 
your media is missing them.
