RE: [newbie] Ximian-Gnome Installation
It is just the standard 8.0, without Freq nor cooker packages (only the Updated packages) I did not install everything, I followed the normal installation. Now, using RedCarpet, I downloaded and installed everything (I think, something like 25 MB more of software) and I will see. I will let you know how it goes.

That, according to messages from Ximian employees on their mailing list, is the only thing keeping Ximian GNOME for Mandrake 8.0 from being released officially. They haven't updated all their mirrors with the Mandrake version, and if they announce it they'll have a huge rush to download it. The product itself, however, is 100% complete.

[newbie] Ximian-Gnome Installation
Has anyone found out how to install Ximian-Gnome on Mandrake 8.0? I've managed to track down the specific installer applet from their ftp server, but during the install startup it fails. I downloaded the entire set of packages, and tried to re-point the installer to the archive containing all the RPM's, but when I do it, the installer refuses to highlight the Next button, and I can't continue. Ximian even has a alternate install procedure using lynx , but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Dan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
