From your description it sounds like something has become knackered in the
Mandrake 7.0 configuration. You should not be encountering architecture
issues.
If you're inclined, the first thing I would try is backing up all pertinent
data on the Mandrake partition that you need to keep, then reinstalling from
scratch. That may solve your problem without upgrading.
However, if it was me, I would get Mandrake 8.1 if I was going to reinstall.
This is without a doubt the best Linux distro I've tried yet.
Hi all,
here are some specs.
*Intel Pentium 4 1.8GHz-133
*Intel 845E Chipset
*512 MB RAM
*80GB IDE HardDrive
*TNT2 M64 32mb Video Card
*Linux Mandrake 7.0
*Linux-kernel 2.2.14
*I recently purchased a new PC and installed linux
Mandrake 7.0 using DrakeX. The PC has been
partitioned as follows.
Win98 partition 5Gbytes
/boot
/ 17Gytes
swap 1024Mbytes
/home about 50Gbytes (the rest)
Description of Problem
When I try and install any additional packages within
linux using any one of the rpm package manages (i.e.
kpackage, drakerpm etc) I get an error reading:
package name is for a different architecture.
Ive tried many packages that came within the CDs
(including i586 rpm files). The same error was given
following each attempt. In addition I uninstalled
several packages already installed during the DrakeX
installation and attempted to reinstalled them. I got
the same problem.
I need to install additional packages in order to run
a research software package.
I dont understand why Im getting this architecture
incompatibility problem. Is the Intel 845E chipset
incompatible with mandrake 7.0? Do I need to upgrade
to Linux Mandrake 8.1?
I eagerly look forward to a reply.
