So it is quite possible that my original GLIBC related problems may be because of my bad hard drive. Everything seems to be working fine now. Mubashir --- Mubashir Cheema <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am experiencing strange glibc oddities under and > updates Mandrake 6 install

It works fine when the system is actually running. However the pcmcia image on floppy is bad. So people will not be able to install M6 using PCMCIA (for net or CDROM etc). Certain directories are just not there and the modules are from 2.2.5 etc. etc. The kernel is just fine. The distribution

First its not a kernel problem. It works fine when the system is actually running. Since the pcmcia disk is bad (as bad as it can get) you will have problems installing Mandrake 6 if you are doing it using the PCMCIA slot. For exmaple over a network or a PCMCIA CDROM. Mubashir Cheema --- mike

[expert] Mandrake 6.0 broken badly

1999-06-01 Thread Mubashir Cheema
I have been trying to install Mandrake 6.0 on a few laptops with no luck at all. Since these laptops are thin laptops and dont have CDROMs in them, I have to do a network install using the PCMCIA network card. When I do this with Redhat 6.0, no problem. But with Mandrake 6.0 the PCMCIA modules
