Hi all,

As I understand you have decided to install Mandrake 10.1 Community
Edition on the next InstaParty.

I would like to point out a small annoying problem with this distribution:
For some reason, they forgot to add the C++ compiler package!

I have tried to install it, selected the Development Tools and then I saw
that there was not able to compile any C++ program because there was
no g++. I looked arround and saw that the C++ compiler package
gcc-c++-3.4.1-3mdk.i586.rpm is missing from the distribution disks (I
think it should have been on disk 2 where the C compiler and C
preprocessor packages are) (I used the mirror at ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu)

I have found the package though at

ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/Mandrakelinux/devel/10.1/i586/media/main

After installing it, everything went ok. Just wanted to warn you about
this. I will look arround if someone already filed a complaint to Mandrake
about this issue I have seen a post at:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&postid=1212561#post1212561

and if not, I'll file one.

                                                Regards,

                                                                Emil
