RE: [expert] urpmi --auto-select Couple of new questions abouturpmi and installing big apps...
Frank, No need for scripts, their is a directory you can copy across some of the files and it will update, I did it 3 weeks ago. I think it is /etc/urpmi, I will check tonight when I get home.

What would be helpful in a case like this is to be able to do what PLF did. (actually I got it from Ranger's site) but somehow a PLF CD was created that you install from as if it was CD1 and it contains PLF's rpms This gets moved into a new category called PLF (duh!) and then it hands off to disc ... continues the install and asks for PLF at the end, Even if it were just possible to redo disk 3 (there is a ton of room on it) You would then have the disks available and could create rpms of data files you need.

RE: [expert] KDE3.0 install on LM8.2
Nick, The last week in newbie they have had full installation instructions, but what you missed was the urpmi.addmedia which creates a directory for kde3. (Don't worry I did the same ;).) -Original Message- From: Nick Thompson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 01 May 2002 11:59 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] KDE3.0 install on LM8.2 I installed the KDE3.0 packages last night, just to take a look. They failed to install properly. As instructed (by the Mandrake web page) I downloaded all the rpms and then ran 'urpmi *' in the download directory. It failed on kdesdk and asked me if I wanted to try without dependancy checking. I said yes and it failed again, compaining about a cpio error in kdesdk. It asked if I wanted to --force it, I said yes an it installed, without kdesdk. I logged out, but KDE3 was not available from KDM. So I rebooted and there is was. I logged in, made a few changes as mentioned in the known problems sections of the install instructions and everything appears to work fine (well, kstars crashes as it starts up). I had a look around and was impressed. I eventually logged out and my other half logged in to check her e-mail. She did not select KDE3, but got it anyway. Logging out and reselecting plain KDE (i.e. not the KDE3 selection) from kdm also resulted in getting KDE3. I didn't want to force the upgrade on other users yet. Is it possible to still run KDE2 from kdm while the KDE3 install is present?

The password encryption employed by Microsoft has a number of articles on the net about how it can be decoded, and perhaps a few on how it can be encoded. Samba does nicely in keeping up with the CIFS password encryption, but the authentication on the proxy server, IIRC, is supposed to detect Microsoft platforms, just like their own version of Kerberos. May I suggest asking this question on the expert list? More SAs are on that list who may have had the same experience, though most of them probably put linux on the server first.
