[Cooker] error while individualy package selecting

2000-06-06 Thread Alexander V. Voinov
Hi It fails when I try to deselect vim-x or vim-enhanced. Is it intended by vi-fans? :-) It says something like 'it cannot be a base package' or the like, I didn't have a chance to memorize it. Alexander

[Cooker] setting up printer during 'expert' and 'customized'

Hi All, I see that during the 'customized' install it shows a comprehensive list of printers, which ghostscript supports. If the menu, which frustrated me last time, appeares only in the 'expert' install, that's fine. (The expert was warned...) But I report it anyway because I do not know the

[Cooker] Printer config at the installation

Hi Yesterday I again tried the latest beta, and was again surprised with the printer config menu: "Text printer| HP DJ | Postscript". It would frustrate even an experienced user. What if I have an HP LJ?! Of course, printtool and *drak* work, but what is the intent of that installation menu? I

[Cooker] kernel source in 7.0

Hi I understand that it is an offtopic _here_, but whome else would I ask. I cannot recompile the mdk kernel in 7.0. It issues many diagnostics, e.g. 'smp_something_cpu' constant not found in a header. Do I understand correctly, that nobody of Mandrake users tried to recompile the kernel? To

Hmm. But I still cannot work with X 3.3.6 immediately after installation, it misses some libraries. Last try was yesterday. I wouldn't consider it as final in any sense. Alexander Riyad Kalla wrote: I've asked this question about 6 times and never gotten a response: It sounds from little

Hi, I didn't yet try this in 7.1, but in 7.0 it drove me crazy: why the 'secure' kernel, which I'd like to use because of its name ;-) is ONLY SMP? There are still issues with SMP in Linux, and on a UP machine it's at least a bit slower and less stable anyway. I tried to recompile it as UP, but

[Cooker] text mode installer

2000-04-29 Thread Alexander V. Voinov
Hi, My eyes quickly get tired of the videomode of the graphic installer, so I tried the text-mode one. I see however that it lacks some functionality of the former. E.g. in the expert mode the individual package selection became impossible, it also seems to ignore my 'large-scale' selection.
