> The informations present in the previous versions of the howto (<=1.34), and
reported in the current document,
which apply to releases up to and including 6.1 of Redhat Linux, is believed
to apply to distributions that are Redhat clones such as
<A
HREF="http://www.mandrake.com"
TARGET="_top"
>Mandrake</A
>. The procedure is
reported to be untested (as you can read in the howto itself) though.
</P
><P
> Similar considerations apply to the
<A
HREF="http://www.linuxppc.org"
TARGET="_top"
>LinuxPPC</A
> distribution for
Apple PowerMacs. When making a distribution for the PowerMac platform,
you need to use <A
HREF="http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM/mkhybrid.html"
TARGET="_top"
>mkhybrid</A
>)
instead of <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>mkisofs</TT
> and this should be the only difference.
</P
><P
> The informations supplied for the new releases of Redhat (>6.1) shouldn't
work with Mandrake, which has now a fairly different installer from the
Redhat one. I really don't know if some other clone of Redhat can have its
distribution CDs updated this way, but I would be happy if you let me know.
