I am not sure I understand what you mean here. Why would you want cancel removals if they will cause conflicts? And if don't mind risking a conflict, you should be using rpm, not urpmi. Tom Whiting wrote: >There SHOULD be an option to cancel existing removals (ie: your package >will involve

it says "harddrake: failed " -When you click on a device in the scrollpane, the scrollpane automatically jumps to the top of the list, while leaving the just-clicked item selected. Very annoying. Thanks for a great install though! And most things I've tried so far work great. (I like the new Mozilla fonts package!) David Grant

I thought there already was this feature in the Networking part of the Mandrake control center? If I am wrong then this would definitely be a cool feature. I usually just do "ifconfig eth0 down, ifconfig eth0 up" at the command prompt for my DHCP connection Florent BERANGER wrote: >

No, I was using all the MDK 8.2 packages, which are all ogg-vorbis 1.0rc3 for encoding and playback. Sorry, I think I'll stop posting for now, until I actually try 9.0beta2 tonight. I just wanted to get a feel for what success people are having with the ogg packages in 9.0 before I try it to

Just curious, has anyone tested the ogg vorbis stuff in Mandrake 9.0beta1 or 2? Mine doesn't work in 8.2, and I couldn't upgrade the ogg and vorbis rpms, because there are many other dependancy issues, the most annoying being a kde dependancy, which I didn't feel like breaking. I know the pa

[Cooker] urpmi and webfetch

2002-03-16 Thread David Grant
Why does urpmi require webfetch? Webfetch is not even available as an rpm in the primary Cooker mirror. And it has no listing whatesoever on rpmfind.net? If this dependancy it wrong, can we have it removed, or if webfetch is in fact required, can we add it to the cooker? Thanks, David p.s.
