Luc--- I'm sorry you got shot down the way you did. Please don't stop being a beta tester. Beta testers are what makes a great distro release, and you are appreciated! :) I'm sure Andrej just had a bad day. :( --Bill === Luc Roseberry wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"> Le mar 05/03/2002

Yes, it would be very nice to have in 82! I personally don't need it with DSL, but I have customers that could really use it I think also that because there are SO many of these particular modems out there, this would be a huge benefit for Mandrake! :) --Bill === Marc Lijour

[Cooker] MdkInst - Ext3 Mounting

2002-02-27 Thread Bill Lea Greenwood
Another problem I have found with MdkInst, is that it finds and mounts my Ext3 partitions as Ext2. This can be a real problem since there can be times that mdkinst locks up, or can't complete for some reason, or won't unmount properly, or some other reason, so leaves these partitions in a

My vote it to have NS4 back into the main release also. It is the only browser that just _works_ in many situations. Besides that, It is the only browser that has the *Images* button, which I use all the time. The Images button was supposed to be put into the Mozilla tree, but I think,

[Cooker] Freshen OK

2002-02-25 Thread Bill Lea Greenwood
As you can see below, a Freshen of all installed files (rpm -Fvh *.rpm) went beautifully. This is from fully resynced RPMS and RPMS2 directories up to this very minute. I had just done a Freshen of just the KDE apps last night (rpm -Fvh kde*.rpm), so that is why they are not on this list.

Sorry Tim, but I agree with Jason. Remember Tim, that the LSB has chosen RPM, and so has Mandrake, so deal with it. :) Also, I don't really think that Jason was talking about releasing the distro as statlinked, only the add-on apps that can be downloaded. When I download an app, I really

[Cooker] RPM Database

2000-11-07 Thread Bill Lea Greenwood
I assume that you know that the RPM database does not exist (as far as RPM v.4.0 is concerned) after a fresh install of Cooker. You can't install or freshen (update) any apps because RPM can't find anything installed. Like I said, I'm sure you know about this, but I just don't know why it

1) Would it be possible to divide up the RPMs to the 2 different directories (RPMS vs. RPMS2) for the two different CDs on all the Cooker mirror sites? This would be a BIG HELP in keeping them up to date. the list is (now) in Mandrake/base/rpmslist Would it be possible now then to have
