RE: [newbie] Where is the elusive "apps" (disk 3) ?
Ahh.., That's how I misread it. At first I thought he was asking for confirmation that "CD 3" was the Apps disk. Not "where can I get it". I happened to pick up the "Linux-Mandrake 7.1 Deluxe" boxed set at a local emporium. Total kit had X86 BinariesSources - InstallationInstallation Extension Applications 2nd Applications ContribsContribs Plus the usual "Getting Started" pamphlet and "Installation and User Guide" and "Reference Manual" books. All together a good expenditure since I was really getting into Linux for the first time. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bradley D.

[newbie] Where is the elusive "apps" (disk 3) ?
Hello, I d/l'd the ISO images as per instructions and burned CDs and then did the install. The docs on the website only mention the "Inst" and "Ext" CDs, yet the install script as well as rpmdrake keeps asking for a "Disk 3". This would be the "Apps" disk I presume, and disks 1 and 2 would be the "Inst" and "Ext" disks, respectively. I would like to install a bunch of things that rpmdrake keeps asking for, keeping this an installation that is as clean as possible wrt Mandrake and the rpm system going to the sources that have been provided by mandrake. For instance, I found out upon installing identd that I needed to use the RH 6.1 version of the RPM instead of the RH 7 version. Of course I'll be installing much from source, but it sure would be nice if I could have the packages already bundled up by the Mandrake folks. A particlular example is StarOffice, rpmdrake lists the package as version 4.0.5-4mdk, but I can't find that rpm anywhere. Could someone point me to either (or both): 1.) The location of the iso image/rpm source that this version of mandrake refers to as "disk 3" (Mandrake 7.1 i386) 2.) the repository (if any) that mankrake maintains or uses for housing these rpms? (can't find it at RedHat or rpmfind.net). Thanks, Bradley.
