I have bought the Power Pack edition of Mandrake9.0. Installation went very well; then the problem started.
I have been trying to install extra packages from the CDs. I can install from the Installation Disks, the International Disk, and the Commercial Disks. But not from the Supplementary Disk. The packages are listed, and can be selected. But not installed. When I try to install from the Supplementary Disk, I get the error message:- Everything is already installed. (Is this supposed to happen at all?) Everything is definitely NOT installed. I have tried every combination of disk selection in Package Manager. I have tried updating. Using urpmi <package> (as root) gives an error message that the package cannot be found. I suppose that I could install single packages by clicking on them and using GURPMI, but that would be just a "work round". It would not fix the problem I am having with the Package Manager. The source is given as:- removable://mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS7 ../base/hdlist7.cz The other Supplementary source is 8 instead of 7. These sources compare with the other sources, so do not appear to be incorrect. I have looked in the archives, and can find thisproblem mentioned with respect to a DVD, but not CDs. Please can someone shed some light on the problem and tell me how to install packages from the Supplementary Disk? Many thanks. Keith
