Rafael,
Congrats on the install I was also very excited to get it installed on my powerbook. On the question of security updates... I have the same problem and even after updating the RPMdrake packages it still does not show any updates nor any sources. Secondly, on the ximian thing ... it took a while but I got it installed, many many and many dependencies forced me to use the 2nd cd and also the updates ftp sites but after about a day of this I finally got it installed and running. Remember --force is your friend!!

Hi everyone! I've been a "ghost reader" of this list since it was announced, and just yesterday I had the chance to finally install Mandrake 8 on my Rev. B iMac. It's a wonderfull distro, one of the best ones I've ever used. It autodetected and configured my printer, my USB zip drive, my USB joystick, my dial-up connection, and finally I have accelerated video on my ATI Mach 64 (bye, bye, framebuffer!). However, I only have the first CD, and some development packages aren't on it. I'm downloading the second disc right now, but my connection is slow and it will take a while to finish the download. Question: Is there an FTP server were I can download just the missing packages (like XFree86-devel) that I want? The ones I checked only have the ISO. Also, it's me or there's no source for security updates yet? When I try to update the mirror list on the RPM tool, it comes empty. PS: Anyone had luck installing Ximian Gnome with the YellowDog / LinuxPPC packages? I'm a HUGE Ximian Gnome fan, and I don't like the default Mandrake setup. If anyone does have some tips to share, i'll be glad to hear them. -- Rafael Rigues [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.RevistaDoLinux.com.br Mac OS X: Because making UNIX user-friendly was easier than debugging Windows.
