Hi folks, I am using mandrake 8.0. I installed it using lnx4win on a celeron 300mhz laptop with 64mb ram. I have been having trouble with the software manager as it hangs most of the time. what normally happens is when I start it, it says that its scanning Cd1. It usually (not always though) hangs when it reaches 99%. Every now and then it manages to load properly and subsequently works well. Does anyone know what the problem is? I really want to know how to install programs. lately I have been using the rpm -i command in a shell since I have been having the software manager problem mentioned above. the problem arises with all the program dependencies. How do I install a program WITHOUT having to find all the dependencies and their dependencies and so on. For example I tried to install the latest version of koffice. I got an error saying that libmng.so.0 was missing. so I went and downloaded an rpm that contained it. I tried to install it but I got an error saying it conflicts with libmng1-1.0.0-2mdk. I don't want to uninstall libmng1-1.0.0-2mdk because several program depend on it so what do I do??? Please help as I really like Linux but find it really hard to install programs. regards mike
