hm... well... I usually just tell it to open up all the packages on the tree into a tree-like structure. Have to look for that symbol now.
This raises a new Question though. I've tried twice now to install from my HDD and heres what I do: Make bootfloppy with the hd.img file form the CD's using RawWrite. Floppys fine. Comp boots off of floppy Installer asks where the files it wants to use are located, so i point it to "hdb1/mandrake" where resided all the files in their default folders I copied from the CD's. (I had tried yesterday to make it so that there was a structure to that directory like so: hdb1/mandrake/cd1... /cd2... /cd3.) In both cases the install gets through * I believe * the first CD's worth of files then gives me an error about packages having trouble being installed. Help? Could they just be corrupt packages & I must re-copy them from CD? Or should I put all the packages into one dir & let it install that way? IE, hdb1/mandrake/* (all files under just the mandrake dir, no directories in there). Any help is appreciated. Until that point the installer works perfectly btw. No errors or problems. civileme wrote: > FemmeFatale wrote: > >> when i go to install MDK I was looking for Fluxbox on the list of >> installable items. >> >> it doesn't show up though.
