Re: [newbie] DEVELOPMENT setup
I too noticed that the 7.2 installation runs through a lot of options I am used to choosing. One being the "type" of installation. What I did was to simply choose recommended install and then using rpmdrake, install all the libraries, compilers and help files i required. Not as simple, but did the trick for me anyway.

Re: [newbie] DEVELOPMENT setup
If youre using the distributed version of mandrake 7.2 (i.e. store bought boxed version) Complete does not come with any development tools and thus doesnt allow you to choose between workstation, development or server. to do this you must purchase Mandrake 7.2 Powerpack Deluxe or download Mandrake from their website.

Re: [newbie] DEVELOPMENT setup
Hi Ryan, That helps alot because it answers my question. I'm AMAZED that the store bought boxed version (4 CD's) doesn't have the complete development tools. So - you are saying that I need to download the two CD ISO images from the website, burn CD's and use those, is that correct? Or - is there a list of the RPM's to download that will fill in the missing development tools?

Re: [newbie] DEVELOPMENT setup
Ryan, thanks for that explanation and info, it answers my question. Best Regards, ===Keith - Original Message - From: Ryan Le Gros [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2001 1:54 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] DEVELOPMENT setup Im sure you can download just the RPM's you need and install them manually in conjunction with your copy of Mandrake 7.2 Complete, however I, being on a dialup decided to just shell out another 70 bucks for Powerpack Deluxe so I cant verify this. It angers me that Mandrake would release a boxed sre called Complete and fail to say anywhere on the box that development tools are not included. In order to find this out you've got to visit their website and only thne do they tell you that development tools are not included. I wound up wasting 30 bucks on Complete thinking it was complete, when infact it wasnt. Couldnt return the Complete version either because the software had already been opened and the retailer wouldnt exchange it for powerpack deluxe, so im stuck with both versions now. Anywas as for a list of the RPM's youll need to install to make your Complete version a Developmentally complete version, I'm not sure if there is one or not, perhaps someone else on this list can answer that question. My suggestion to you is to download the 2 CD's from the site and burn them if you cant or dont want to spend another 60 dollars for the Powerpack Deluxe. A full install fo Powerpack Deluxe is 1626 pachages totalling around 6 gigs of space, compare and contrast with Complete hehe. Good luck, and flamedammit Mandrake, change your advertising scheme! People could deem this false advertisement./flame Ryan Le Gros - Original Message - From: "Keith Christian" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2001 12:24 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] DEVELOPMENT setup Hi Ryan, That helps alot because it answers my question.
