You see I was going under the assumption that all Powerpacks in North America were manufactured by Macmillan which I find is not true if you buy from our website.

I don't have a copy of the Powerpack, so I haven't tried to install apps from it. I am curious as to whether you can install using the Software Manager program?

Re: [newbie] New LM8 PowerPack installation freezes on Boot CD
Hi list and Mandrake Support, I am very disappointed. It appears that I have a bad Boot Core System Boot CD. The light on the CD stays on for about 10 minutes followed by and error message: An error occurred nothing found while parsing /mnt/var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.CD1 Core System CD(x86) How do I get a replacement?

[newbie] New LM8 PowerPack installation freezes on Boot CD
Hi everybody, Well, I just received the new Powerpack and I cannot get it installed. I was running expert mode. In fact the first RAM disk crapped out and I was prompted to retry again by pressing the [enter] key. After partitioning /boot / /usr /swap and /home, the Boot Disk was searching the programs to install, the motor stopped while the light on CD was still on, and the following error message appeared: Error Message An error occurred nothing found while parsing /mnt/var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.CD1 Core System CD(x86) What the heck is going on? My beta installed instantly. I can't get anything installed from the Powerpack!! Any ideas? -- Roman Registered Linux User #179293 This email is powered by the Tux Email Utility
