[newbie] Using other CDs
I purchased the PowerPack Edition from MandrakeStore for 9.1. I installed a bare bones system thinking I would add only the things I needed later. I added apache and mysql using the control center/add packages and they both are working fine. Now I want to add Webmin but it does not show up in the package list. I found it on CD2 and I know I can copy it and install it using urpmi but I being stubborn and I want to do it my way (guess that's why I'm using linux). How do I go about adding contents of other CDs to the contents of RPMDrake so the packages show up on the list of available packages? I have googled and checked out the 9.1 documentation and if it's there I've missed it. Your help is appreciated. Carter Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Carter Carter, if it does not show up on the add packages list in MCC then it probably is already installed. Take a look in MCC at software management remove packages and in the search box type webmin. If webmin package shows up you have it installed. Easier yet is type in a terminal slocate webmin. You may have to do that as su if you have not added that to your users' groups. If you have it you can access it by opening a webbrowser and typing in https://localhost:1/ then give root and root password and it will log you in. -- Dennis M. linux user #180842 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
