[newbie] Mandrake Control Center - 10 Official
I just finished an installation of Mandrake 10 official and can't find the Mandrake Control Center (drakconf) anywhere. Anyone have an idea why it didn't install and how to install it? -- Registered Linux User: 271967 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Anyone have an idea why it didn't install and how to install it? It is probably installed. You sound new to ML so I will try to make the reply detailed. I assume that you are using KDE if so this should be the easy way to find Mandrake Control Center. Click the star icon in the bottom left corner of the screen and go to systen then to configuration and then to configure your computer. You will be prompted for a root password. Enter the password and you will then be in Mandrake Control Center. Actually I'm not new to linux or Mandrake. I started using Mandrake with version 8 and linux with Red Hat 5. It's not installed. Thanks for replying though. -- Registered Linux User: 271967 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
Re: [newbie] Mandrake Control Center - 10 Official
Thanks for replying. I only had the cd sources set up for urpmi and prior to my post, when I tried urpmi drakconf I got an error message stating there was no such package. So, apparently on my 5 cd set, drakconf does not exist. I took your advice, set up my sources from one of the mirrors, ran urpmi again and it installed perfectly. The only thing that I can think of is that there must have been an error when I compiled the 5 ISO discs after downloading the entire i586 directory tree. There were no error messages during the compilation. But, maybe something went awry and for some reason drakconf was not included on the discs. I wonder if anything else is missing? You stated that you had the same problem. Did you compile your own ISO's or did you download the ISO's from the Mandrake Club? Thanks for your help.

Assuming you've got your sources set up, do (as root): urpmi drakconf For instructions on how to use urpmi, see: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/eggnbacon/docs/urpmi-howto/ http://www.pclinuxonline.com/modules.php?name=Newsfile=articlesid=3460 Hope this helps.

Re: [newbie] MDK 10 Official, when?

Many thanks, Paul Get them at the club ;-) That's very good advice, but for those that don't have the spare cash in their budget to join the club, you can download the i586 directory tree, create your own ISO's and burn installation cd's from the ISO's. I posted this link in a previous message. Check out this thread posted at linuxquestions.org.

Re: [newbie] 10.0 Official CD's
Check out this thread over at linuxquestions.org. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?postid=926547#post926547 I followed the instructions given in the above post and created 5 ISO files which I used to burn Mandrake 10 Official onto 5 CD's. It just takes a little bit more work than downloading the ISO files directly. I hope this helps. On Wednesday 12 May 2004 03:27 pm, Alex Brooks wrote: Hi Di Hi Campers! Just wondering if anyone has any idea when the 10.0 official CDs will appear on the public mirrors, as the MDK home page says: *April 14th, 2004 - Mandrakelinux 10.0 Official is available!-...* The public FTP tree of Mandrakelinux 10.0 Official has also started to appear on mirrors, and public ISO images will be released on early May. It's the 12th of may and still no sign... Before anyone says, I was intending to try MDK out and get it working before I think about becoming a club member. Thanks for your help.

[newbie] urpmi Problem
I'm having a problem with a media entry in urpmi. I keep getting this error when running urpmi: unable to take medium Z2main into account as no list file [/var/lib/urpmi/list.Z2main] exists I did have a medium at one time named Z2main, however I removed it with urpmi.removemedia. I checked my urpmi.cfg file and it does not list Z2main as a medium. I also went into Mandrake Control Center, Software Management, Software Media Manager and there is no entry in that either for Z2main. At this point I have no idea how to remove this ghost entry from urpmi. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
