[Cooker] AMD 79cXXX Eth Card

2001-04-06 Thread Alex Hayes
This card hasn't worked for me since drake 6.2. Has worked in the last few Red Hats, including wolverine (7.1beta). I always get an insmod error on install attempt. On another note 8.0beta3 is very good! Any ideas on the eth card?Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

[Cooker] Misc Comments/Probs

7.2b3 on an AMD machine that had no probs on 7.1: 1. Attempt to install additional rpm's failed because installer only looked to an "RPMS2" directory on CD when there was only "RPM" directory. Manual RPM install was OK so this was just annoying. 2. KDE seizes up frequently. Can still move

yes, installshield type of program. i know this is not 100% poss. at this stage due to the variety of installation procedures. i suppose the program's scope could be expanded to incorporate the ability to install .tar's (.tar.gz), .rpm's, .deb's and .tgz's, or it could serve as a wrapper for

Noticed that rpmfind reflects a number of updated files. Is this part of the next cooker, or are these remedial updates to 7.0? __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Re: [Cooker] Air 7.0 ISO whats wrong??

2000-01-16 Thread Alex Hayes
I also can't install from either the .iso, or from a FTP mirror. I get to "intering 2nd stage install" and then get either nothing further or a "signal 9 error, exiting install". My install source is sitting on a FAT32 partition (target is seperate drive). I assume this does not matter, as

http://rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/7.0/ seems to be more complete than the old /MandrakeCooker/oxygen, but I have no real confidence in it (seems to lack some rpm's but perhaps these were pulled on purpose?). Is there not really a stable unstable (ie beta) release? Original Message
