Greetings all.
For family reasons, I have been off the list (and rarely on the
computer) for about ten weeks, and have just joined again.
I wanted to try Mandrake9.2 so, before spending my hard-earned pension
on the package, I have installed it from three magazine cover disks
just to test.

I sent three postings yesterday, but none of have appeared on the list. So
here goes again.

I have been trying to set up a URPMI source list for 9.1, by modifying the 9.0
list changing 9.0 to 9.1. The sources are found, except for texstar and plf.

Using the "Recommended" method of installation, and letting Mandrake sort out
its own partitioning, it uses ext3 and noatime. From the information I have
been able to find, noatime speeds things up with ext2, so presumably with
ext3 also.
I am wondering whether to do my own partitioning as I us

I have downloaded and installed a program from the internet, which needs to
access the soundcard. When I try to run it, I get the error message:
Cannot open Audio Device /dev/sound/dsp: Device or resource busy.
I have checked permissions and they are correct.
Any ideas to overcome this error,

When it tried to install the packages, it couldn't, saying that there was an

Has anyone tried it, and got it to work? If so, how do you do it, please? I
can't work out how to do it.
This is only for experimenting with. I wouldn't dream of using it

Thanks for your reply in answer to my problem that I could not get urpmi or

Sorry for such very "newbie" questions, but I am lost!
Is there a good tutorial on downloading and installing packages from the

Hello Randy.
In the past when I have sent things like that abroad, I have added to the
contents description:
"Of no commercial value"
This, I think, helps to make things as clear as possible to customs. I have
never had any problems.
Hope that helps.
