[newbie] Mandrake on a low-end machine...
Hi All! My girlfriend is starting to write her thesis, and I don't want her to loose any data because of winblows. Her machine is a 166MHz pentium with 32 MB RAM. I want to install Mandrake 9.0 with blackbox or icewm, but I also need a good word processor. My personal favorite is OpenOffice.org, but I don't know if that would be alright for that configuration. Please share with me experiences of such machines + Mandrake, and tell me which word processor shoul I us (it has to be able to export in word97 format.) Thanks, BAT Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Install 9.0 from hdd?
Hi! I'm just dl-ing 9.0 :-) I wonder if there is some way to do this: I have a seperate unused partition. I format it to ext3 and copy the contents of the iso's on it + mount it like /mnt/install/mandrake9cd1 etc... Is there some way to create a boot floppy which then would install from that partition? I have no cd's now :-( BAT Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Mandrake 9.0 wishlist :-)
I wonder what you'd like to implemented in the 9.0 release. My wishlist is in short: - a script for installing the nvidia drivers OR a deal with nvidia to provide them preinstalled in MDK 9.0 - Hungarian spell checkers - Opera 6.x - Mldonkey - Latest gtk-gnutella - Themable graphical boot - More KDE/Gnome themes - Support for Mustek ScanMagic 1200 (paralell) - Mozilla 1.1 - Mplayer - An advanced control center with more advanced options - winex and crossover office - preinstalled flash plugin - Maybe a gamer's extension 4th CD so on the first 3 CD there would be only serious programs and the games of kde/gnome - A more discrete and professional Mandrake look (icons, bootup, etc.) -Maybe a change of logo?
