Re: [expert] Best Mandrake yet!!!
Hmm.. I had to wrestle with beta3 :( during install it couldn't modprobe hptraid after install kdm and gdm wouldn't run, I think X was pooped. so I did a clean install of 9.1beta1 - then upgraded with 9.1beta3 And all seems nice now. My sound card still installs as audigy.. (rather than live 5.1 plat) so I need to manually change that to use emu10k whatever.. but that's no big deal for me. -- Azrael (\''/).___..--'''-._ `0_ O ) `-.

Re: [expert] Best Mandrake yet!!!
I just installed it today. First observations: 1) On install, I checked select individual packages , but it blew past that, and ran the install, minus a few packages I wanted to install 2) The cdrom mounting in /etc/fstab was wrong: Neither of my CD roms would mount. I had to change /etc/fstab from: /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,umask=0,exec 0 0 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom2 auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,umask=0,exec 0 0 to: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,umask=0,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,umask=0,exec 0 0 2) urpmi won't work. It complains that cdrom1 is not selected. 3) Evolution is still missing It's only been up a few minutes... Dunno much else about it yet. Seems ok.. But I need to find a way to install OpenOffice... It did not install originally. I deslected office workstation at install time, to save space. Also, I didn't want KOffice some of the junk. I was going to grab it under select individula packages.. But didn't get the chance. Ric Mark Weaver wrote: O my GOD! Mandrake 9.1beta3 installed without one single hitch, error, or problem of any sort. This is AWESOME!
