Have you checked your firewall settings? That tripped me up a couple of times before I got in the habit of checking it. Enabling sshd (or the xinetd version of sshd) starts the daemon listening on the port. But if the firewall is blocking the port, nothing will get through to the daemon.

Thanks Anne Rebooted with scanner unplugged and this time got as far as checking for new hardware. I waited five minute - not sure how long to wait. Nothing happened so stopped it. The other thing I forgot to say, was that on the first boot after install I received a message saying 'Welcome to first boot' but mouse wouldn't work. I thought it was detected correctly during the install, but perhaps not. It is a MS intellipoint on USB. I can change it to standard mouse connection with an adapter, if this would help. I have a recollection that mouse was a problem a few years ago with linux and had to call it something else. Thank Rosemary - Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

There are more sources there, besides Mandrake, such as PLF packages too. Then, once you have gone through the stages, copy and paste the text into a console window but make sure you are running as root in the terminal window. Do this for each source you want to add. Thats it, job done! Then hopefully you will be able to update ok!

Regards, You're going to find that 10.1 is really bleeding edge - it's still very new, so there are going to be issues with it. Luckily, people are reporting the problems they find, so updates will soon render these issues a non issue. If you're wanting stability, you're probably better off with 10.0. I myself am a RedHat convert, and love the ease of use of Mandrake, and while other distros have similar package managers and such, I still prefer what I have found with Mandrake Linux, and don't plan on going anywhere else.

No its Mandrake 10.1 Community, Is Mandrake 10.1 Official more stable ? Then, you should not be so assertive regarding the stability of Mandrake 10.1. Since Mandrake Official is more recent and official than Mandrake Community, I would expect more stability with Mandrake Official. However, I am running Mandrake 10, which is just great concerning stability. Paul PS: Since I am a GMail user, please be sure that you reply to the list.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 10.1 Isos
I have had problems with the second and third cd's also. I had chalked it up to the new(cheap) DVD burner I had put in. It would be interesting if there is a problem.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake 10.1 Isos
On the off chance that your Linux install is now hosed, there are some md5sum checkers out there for Windows as well: Command Line: www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/using_md5sums.html#win GUI Freeware: http://snipurl.com/9l54 GUI Open Source: http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=16882 The first GUI app looks like it may be a bit more friendly and featureful than the open source version, but I honestly didn't look that closely. -- Adam Alexander Ruoff wrote: I have a problem with the Iso-Images I have for 10.1.

Regards Alex In the directory you d/l'd the iso's to, run 'md5sum -c name_of_the_md5sum.asc'. You did also d/l the md5sum file right? If that's OK's the d/l'd iso's, after burning check with 'md5sum /dev/hdc' (assuming hdc is your cdrom). If the md5sums then don't match, you have a problem burn**. Most likely asscociated with the GUI you used (k3b). **If you have a separate Cdrom and burner, try checking (and installing) from the burner. They are often better readers than CDroms, DVDroms. Don't use a CD-RW, use CD-R media. Windoze apps like Nero, and Linux GUI's like k3b often corrupt the iso by misuse of cdrecord parameters. If you suspect this, then burn the iso file with somethin like 'cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=16 dev=ATA:1,1,0 -dao Name_of_file.iso'on the command line. You'll probly have to adjust your speed and dev from mine. The most important bit is -dao. Do not use parameters like -data or -pad. Bottom line is until you get the iso's to match md5sum before and _AFTER_ burning ... you don't know if you have bonafide CD's. If you still have an install problem, hopefully it'll be fixed by 10.1 Official ;) -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Proud to be an American Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
