IS there a way to upgrade this version without having to install new version. Is it via the Mandrake Update function on the desktop? Thanks
[Cooker] Mandrake 7.0 Upgrade
Hi, I am planning to upgrade my Mandrake 7.0 because I have i810 machine. My questions are: 1) Where can I find the rpm files for the kernel 2.2.16? I found 2.2.15-15mdk. 2) Which additional rpm files will I need to download for the kernel? 3) Which rpm files will I need to download for alsa driver and XFree 4.0. Thanks, Claudio H.

Re: [Cooker] Mandrake 7.0 Upgrade
Hi Geoffrey, I was using this procedure but I stopped because I discover a dependency with a call "is_mod_necessary" of modutils without any tip about the necessary RPM. Besides, it is not so good, go on-line, download, try to install, discover the dependency, switch to win98, go on-line ... I am going after the kernel, thanks a lot!

[Cooker] Mandrake 7.0 - 486 - Install Problems
First time doing the 486 install, so I thought I'd detail anything I find. This may also help for making the 7.1/486 distro. Here goes.. - - - 1. CD HTML documentation The index.htm and install.htm files in the root of the CD-ROM need some editing to match the fact that we are using Mandrake 486. There's a number of "Pentium" comments and other things that need to be edited. - - - 2. Installation Boot Screen (SysLinux?) o To use the graphical install (DrakX), create a boot disk (see the Linux Mandrake Intsallation Guide). Big typo in the word "Intsallation". - - - 3. PCMCIA disk missing Tried to do a network/laptop install, when I discovered that the pcmcia.img was missing. Tried a few different ones, both 7.0 and 7.1. The install was apparantly looking for an ext2 formatted diskette. The ones I downloaded were vfat. Alt-F1: I failed to mount the floppy. Please insert the Linux Mandrake PCMCIA disk, or choose Cancel to pick a different installation process. Alt-F3: * calling mount(/tmp/fd0, /tmp/floppy, ext2, -1058209791, (nil)) * mounting fd0 on /tmp/floppy as type ext2 Alt-F4: 4VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev fd(2,0). I formatted it for ext2 and copied the files over manually, but that didn't help. Alt-F1: I failed to mount the floppy. Please insert the Linux Mandrake PCMCIA disk, or choose Cancel to pick a different installation process. Alt-F3: * calling mount(/tmp/fd0, /tmp/floppy, ext2, -1058209791, (nil)) * mounting fd0 on /tmp/floppy as type ext2 No messages on Alt-F4. I finally discovered that Mandrake 6.1 used ext2 floppies, so I used the pcmcia.img from 6.1. It got passed that first error, but wouldn't work, as it kept saying "insmod failed!" I'm guessing due to the kernel version mismatches. - - - 4. Gave up Well, as I don't have a CD-ROM drive for this laptop, and the only kind of NIC I had was PCMCIA, and since there's no pcmcia.img anywhere that I can find, for now, I'm giving up. Let me know if someone has a pcmcia.img for this install, I'd be happy to continue. - - - Don Head Linux Mentor Wave Technologies, Inc.

Re: [Cooker] Mandrake 7.0 self-destruct
Yes.. I thought this would be the case also.. BUT.. after going on 7 clean Installs. I double checked...When you select a main category you assume it means EVERYTHING in that category will be selected. Just to double check I selected every category heading. Then I proceeded to expand EVERY tree. Guess what... there were intermittent packages NOT selected throughout the whole tree. Beleive Me I WANT mandrake 7.0 to work.I get it installed.. everytime.. something goes haywire to mess up the WHOLE system. I have tried it on 2 different machines. I have run ontrack diagnositc on the hard drive. I have run Western Digital Diag on the Hard drive... I even wrote zeros to the drive. HOPING it would fix the prob. It just seems to me that Oxygen was more stable than AIR. OXYGEN kicked! Take Care Chris

Re: [Cooker] Mandrake 7.0 self-destruct
So ..I take it from the reponses that Mandrake Staff Do not care what end users think? Only Linux Gurus and geekheads matter. Hm Smells of a Microsoft Attitude to me. I just want a stable system. I want a customizable system. I want a system that I can learn with. Is that to much to ask? Maybe I am not a developer/coder/compiler kind of person. I do know what I am. I am an end user/computer business owner that builds his own machines and machines for others. I know that when I put hardware in a system it needs to be able to work with the OS... let me rephrase that... maybe this is the whole industry problem the OS needs to work with ANY hardware. What a Novel Idea. I just think it was real odd that the oxygen iso was stable... at least it seem that way. Then along comes AIR 2 different upload times and a mandrake7.0 iso in a different directory all in the same night? I just don't understand why there wasn't a "stable" version out. Kernels are tested... listed as stable when they are ready for end users to download. Why not with OS distros? I feel like I am being laughed at because I am unable to get mandrake 7.0 to stay working for more than a day. Beleive me... If it was my fault it was screwing up I would be FIRST to admit it.

well I think the only time I tried it was with redhat 5.0 and I don't think I've done it since.

Over and above that, Mandrake 7.0 features upgrades of your favorite packages, which include tons of new features and bug fixes. Too many to list, in fact :)
