No other Linux distributions would install for me, way to go Mandrake!! Only problem right now I seem to be having is with the Mandrake Update program. I have been trying to run it and none of the mirrors seem to work. MDKUpdates opens and says "Please wait while fetching the list of upgrade packages...", waits for several minutes, then says I should try another mirror. I tried manually FTP'ing to a couple of the sites and was able to connect and login anonymously with no problems. A couple of other sites gave me a DNS error after logging in, I'm not sure about that problem either. Any ideas? Thanks! Greg well you have to wait because I did that way in the morning AND it didnt work so I tried at the afternoon NOW it works, I guess the other ftp sites r offline or not accepting connections
[newbie] MandrakeUpdate
the utility on the desktop will work and connect and blah does everything fine, but howcome there are no updates do I have the most updated version or what because I got mandrake kernel 2.2.14-1mdklinus and it says no updates, NO WAY, is there a solution or is it just no updates??

[newbie] Hi...
I am going to download star office from www.sun.com it said choose a platform so I chose "Linux(x86 ONLY)" what is an x86, but the main question I want to know is can i download it?, How do I install it?, How do I run it? or How do I configre it?...please answer me...
Re: [newbie] Star Office
Anthony Huereca wrote: x86 is a type of processor, specifically Intel-compatible (also include AMD). You have one, so don't worry about it. Yes, you can download it. It comes in a .tar.gz file if I remember correctly. Then type "tar -xvzf the_tarred_file.tar.gz" and it'll create a new directory for you. Go into that new directory, and "su" to root. Then type "./setup" and a really cool GUI screen will come up to walk you through the rest of the installation. It's really quite impressive, almost as if you are installing a Windows program. After you get done installing it, you can run it by typing "/the_direcories_you_installed_it_in/bin/soffice" > I am going to download star office from www.sun.com it said choose a > platform so I chose "Linux(x86 ONLY)" what is an x86, but the main > question I want to know is can i download it?, How do I install it?, How > do I run it? or How do I configre it?...please answer me... Reply to Anthony: its named so51a_lnx_01.tar not tar.gz
