RE: [expert] CDROM, PICO, and Web Server in 7.1
Ya by default they are installing POSTFIX (BLAH) instead of sendmail, as well as Roxen and Apache together (I only use vi so never did the pico thing) So your best bet is to do a custom or expert install and take the time to go through the packages and select the ones you want. It is worth the time. Also you can install RPM's via webmin just open your browser and go to http://localhost:1 and use root as the username and the password you set for root. Webmin rocks makes my life soo soo much easier.

Don't know what's up with the CDROM thing, but it definitely affects some computers, and not others. And it does not seem to be CDROM related - it works fine with the same cdrom with another motherboard. I did manage to get PICO and Apache installed. But there is surely some weirdness in Mandrake! I did a "custom" install, and selected SERVER. It installed Apache, but not PICO. More importantly, it did NOT install RPMDRAKE or KINSTALL! Took me a little bit to find this. After I got these buggers installed (of which RPMdrake had dependencies on other modules needing to be installed first), I did a search for PINE - nothing. Tried the search several ways, still nothing. I did a sort alphabetical, and found it! Very strange. I have my system sort of functioning at the moment, but this distribution has a little more work before it is newbie-friendly. Bob ___ Why pay for something you could get for free?

Re: [expert] CDROM, PICO, and Web Server in 7.1
As far as the CDROM goes, are you using supermount? If not, are you manually mounting the cd drive from the command line, or something similar?

[expert] CDROM, PICO, and Web Server in 7.1
Hi Gang, I just installed the latest 7.1 on a system. A couple things went wrong: #1. After it installs all the packages from disk #1, it prompts me for disk #2. However, my CDROM drive is frozen - I can't eject it! Even when I physically unplug it, switch disks, and plug it back in again, LM doesn't see the disk. What's up with that? Tried another CDROM drive, thinking there was something wrong with the one, but same story. #2. I noticed the PICO editor didn't get installed. Where can I get that? #3. I want to have a http server running on this machine. I didn't see any server software get installed. Didn't see any Apache stuff in the list of RPMs on the disk either. Thanks.
