Hi, I may have made a mistake. 
 
First I tried to install exactly as instructed but received a message that some files 
were 
missing. There was no request though to put any CD in. I then tried it all over again 
by trying 
to install the files separately. I was instructed that one file needed to be deleted 
to which I 
agreed with "Y" it then proceeded but still a file was missing. trying another single 
file it now 
is requesting one of the files I am trying to install. 
 
I subsequently tried the entire install again, still files are missing. 
 
Here is a copy of the console:

The following packages have to be removed for others to be upgraded: 
drakconf-9.1-5mdk (due to unsatisfied harddrake-ui >= 9.1-5mdk) 
harddrake-ui-9.1-12mdk (due to unsatisfied drakxtools == 9.1-12mdk) 
do you agree ? (Y/n) y

Hi, I am new to Linux in generel and Mandrake specifically. It is the first 
time i am entering a bugzilla report, so please bear with me. I may also be 
doing something wrong, simply because i am new to the software. Even if that 
is so, the software needs to be further simplified to prevent those problems. 
 
I have been trying 9.1rc2 recently and really like what I see. All the most 
important periperals were recognized automatically. There is one big problem 
for me though: 
 
There does not seem to be a clear way to install a network printer at the 
beginning. I am using a Xerox (sometimes called Tektronix) Phaser 860 directly 
on the ethernet. The OS did recognize my HP 45T on the parallel port 
correctly. Later I did try to install the Phaser via printerdrake. Every time 
the system automatically looks for attached printers and finds the HP 45T and 
also installs again. In the meantime - kept trying - I have 6 installations of 
the HP 45T printer but still no phaser. The system only appears to be looking 
for parallel and possibly USB printers but leaves the network printers out. 
Once it has found the printer it autoimatically goes back to the icon of 
printerdrake, there is no pssibility to choose to install ot to discard. 
 
Does anybody have an answer, the new distro seems so nice and I am keen on 
using it but cannot without the printer solution. 
 
Please let me know, if you need further info. 
 
Dietmar
