Windows NT 4.0 returns me to the Internet. It appears file glibc-2.3.1-10mdk.i586 has been damaged on my Mandrake 9.1 PowerPack distribution disk : Install CD1 If someone in the USA (I live in Champaign, Illinois, USA) can create the Install CD1 disk and mail it to me, I'd pay for their time and shipping costs. Please email me offline for details and arrangements. (I'm on 28kps dialup with no way to write a CD-Rom) End of the help request, what follows is the painful story of how I got here. - You may recall I had to send back my new Maxtor hard drive (Bamboo installed flawlessly on it, my only prior install before the trouble started) back for a replacement. I then tried to install Bamboo on the Western Digital drive that I had left, but to no avail. On Monday, 7/7, the relacement Maxtor drive arrives. Terrific. I install the drive back into the slave position and attempt to install Bamboo. No joy. Worse yet, the Master Boot Record gets corrupted and Windows NT won't boot either. Here's my suggestion to Mandrake. In the Installation booklet shipped with the boxed sets, please put in a Troubleshooting Section. In this Troubleshooting Section make mention of the F1 option to attempt to Rescue a damaged Linux installation. And within that Rescue section, please point out the Repair Windows Boot Record option. When I finally found that option it was too late, I'd already done a low level format of both drives. So I tried installing with both drives low level formatted, with the Maxtor in the Slave position, and then with the Maxtor in the Master position; no joy. I pulled out both Winmodems and tried to install, no joy. I turned off anything in the BIOS that tried to optomize hard drive usage. No joy. I then repeatedly tried to install the Minimal System (doesn't even have urpmi). No joy. I once got the notice telling me the glibc package failed to install 6 different times during a single, failed install attempt. I got the glibc failed message when just trying to install KDE as the only option, with GNOME as the only option, and with OTHER DESKTOPS as the only option. I got the glibc failed message when installing the minimal system with documentation as the only option, and when installing the minimal system with X as the only option. Needless to say I got the glibc failed message when installing any option at all (on the select packages to install page). I began to think there might be something wrong with the glibc-2.3.1-10mdk.i586 package. So I then very carefully at the Install CD1 disk. I think I'm seeing a scratch or nick near the outer edge in one place (probably the place where glibc-2.3.1-10mdk.i586 lives.) So the only idea I have left is to try a replacment disk. Any other ideas? Thanks for listening, The Other. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Need Cable-modem help!
although you should remember to power cycle that cable modem so it can release the MAC address. But it would be a lot easier if you bought a router and allowed it to hand out IP addresses like a DHCP Server so you just plug in and go Thanks Kenneth E.
