Yes, I know that. But you could click on an RPM in Mdk 9.0, and it just downloaded. In
9.1 this is no longer possible, is this a bug ? Or was it done intentional.

I have to.

Lately I had very many files missing after a filesystem check of my root partition. I
executed these commands like on your page:
rpm -Va --nodeps --nomd5 --noscripts | grep missing > missing_files.list
urpmf [filename]
It took for hours to reinstall all corrupted packages from the CD's, so I've come up
with a script:
--
#!/bin/bash
RPM_DIR="/mnt/cdrom2/Mandrake/RPMS"
for FILE in ${RPM_DIR}*/*.rpm ; do
RPM=`rpm -qp --qf "%{NAME} " ${FILE}`
echo -e "Verifying \"${RPM}\" ..."
if rpm -V --nodeps --nomd5 ${RPM} | grep "missing " ; then
echo -e "\nReinstall \"${RPM}\" ? [Enter/y/n]:"
read ANSWER
if [ "${ANSWER}" != "n" ]; then
RPM=`rpm -q ${RPM}`
rpm -Uvh --force ${RPM_DIR}*/${RPM}*
echo -e "\n"
fi
fi
done
exit 0
-
This will check all RPMS on the CD's (or in any other folder you specify), and ask to
install them.

Hi, I just did a clean install of 9.1. 1: Language is Dutch/Netherlands. When I start manpages or ncurses based apps or type characters with umlauts etc. I get the wrong (non-ascii ?) characters. Its almost impossible to work with mc from the command line this way. 2: I cannot shutdown the box, when I do CTRL+ALT+DEL I get these characters on the console: ";2R".

There is a GUI program called paloma that uses MySQL to keep a catalog of your CD's MP3's, wav-files, and ogg's. You can rip and encode, and search on songname, album title, artist and lots more. You can also use it as a player. I have an RPM for 8.2 of it on my website, and I have an RPM for 9.0 (not on my site) that requires some libs for 8.2 though (libsig++, libgdkmm), because it won't build with the libs from 9.0. If you're interested I can send you the 9.0 RPM. http://paloma.sourceforge.net/ http://home.wanadoo.nl/cchq/conmen/rpms.html#paloma You can also try 'gtktalog' which is simpler and easier to get started with, yet very efficient.

[expert] Installer creates extended partition on hda2.
I used to be able to mount my ext2 partitions from Windows. The past half year I tried reiserfs, which gave me problems, so I'm back to ext2 again. However, I cannot mount my ext2 partitions from Windoze anymore. This is the output of fdisk -l /dev/hda : Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 784 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device BootStart EndBlocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 196 1574338+ 6 FAT16 /dev/hda2 197 784 4723110 85 Linux extended /dev/hda5 197 392 1574338+ 83 Linux /dev/hda6 393 405104391 82 Linux swap /dev/hda7 406 758 2835441 83 Linux /dev/hda8 759 784208813+ 83 Linux It seems that the Mandrake-8.0 Installer (diskdrake) created an extended partition on hda2. Shouldnt that be hda5 ? I thought hda1-4 could only be primary partitions.

I was testing my X-Configuration and as a consequense my system froze for a number of times.

There seems to be a problem with the supermount options in fstab, I have had continuous problems with that. Currently I have these lines that work (after a lot of experimenting) in fstab. /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/sr0,rw,user,exec 0 0 /mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/sr1,rw,user,exec 0 0 Except, since LM 8.0, I cannot read links from cdroms anymore. With the option 'unhide', I can read links, but then I have to mount without supermount. Maybe this has something to do with your problem also. I remember getting the same error messages. -- Best regards, M@X. * Climate Control Psychedelic Soundscapes - http://go.to/cchq/ * Linux Shell Scripts & RPM Software Packages - http://go.to/conmen/
