Ok. Thanks for that. It seemed to work the second time round when I installed from the single CD though. It seemed to be every subsequent file from the CD when it got to a particular point. > > On the second run through, it got as far as requesting the second CD, > > however when I put the second CD in, the installer kept spitting the CD > > out and asking me to mount the second CD. > > > > Odd, has anyone else used both CD's to install?

Ok, I have a few more details to add to this bit... I mounted the second CD, went to konqueror and browsed the CD. I right-clicked on Evolution, and asked to open it in Software Manager. All was ok, Software Manager said that it would install some additional files, and I said ok. I was prompted to mount the first CD, and when I did that I got an error saying something along the lines of there was an error and I'd have to reinstall/recreate urpmi database. Sorry, this was last night, and I'm going from memory. It sounds like there's something between the 2 cd's that doesn't add up properly, unfortunately my relative inexperience with Linux means I don't know what to do next! :^) After I installed from just one CD, I had a heap of module dependancy errors when rebooting the machine... is this normal, or is it because I installed off one CD only?
