Hi,
Is it possible to run apt-get on Mandrake (9.0) / has anyone acually done it.

I did an install on a guys computer and he paid for all 4 disks (mandrake
+plf), he has emailed me saying the disks are buggered, which would
explain why I couldnt get jump-n-bump working, considering he was a VERY
powerful computer, and open office didnt even install.
Will someone replace
Why exactly would you want to?
Mandrakes urpmi tools (urpmi urpme ...) will do pretty much every thing
apt-get does and more once you've set up a couple of sources. You can find a
list of sources and how to set them up at
http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/
Once the sources are up you can use the
Hi All,
I was afraid of that. I KNOW mine were fine after testing the ISO md5sum
plus checking the final burned CD md5sums. However, I couldn't verify
Chris or Nick's and on a box mine would install on Chris's would not. If
I can get some blank disks, I will burn from my ISO's any replacements
Jason, do you mean when you get two emails instead of one, cause thats what I
am getting from you! and I agree, it is annoying.

*sigh* Leo has a whole lot of burned cd's. There is also a box of 10
blanks left that I was going to keep and pay for, but they can be
burned if needed.
I thought you tested them all as you burned them jason? Maybe others
didn't.
I got the mandrake cd's from e-caf and copied them a few times
Thanks for the background info - good to know.
I guess standardisation and interoperability is another advantage of
LDAP.
But LDAP is just a directory access protocol isn't it? What service
offers the actual directory? Is it part of the X500 compliant breed now
on many platforms?

The other point is that he could simply download the rpm's that are
not working. If the cd's are buggered they should be replaced, but if
he simply wants to get something going in a hurry he should simply
download the ones he needs and install them.
See my previous post for info on how to see
Well, as I stated, I tested mine, both as ISO's and burned CD's. The
md5sums came up fine on mine (though I admit, I didn't check the md5sum
on all of the final burned copies, just a few of them to be sure). The
writing on the disks I burned is in small lettering and is in blue ink.
Anyway,
around my house in lyttelton I am, all on linux.
I basically use it so i can ssh to my desktop from
my 486 laptop in
front of the tv , continue to chat on msn
(centericq) and see emails
(pine) while watching tv.
I can also do X to the desktop, but its not much fun

On linux one directory service is OpenLDAP. There is also iPlanet
Directory Services and Novell supports eDirectory on Linux.
And yes LDAP is just the access protocol - not the actual directory.
Usually the directory is stored in some type of database anyway. Novell
use the flaim [spelling?]

Define database :-)
Part of the semantic problem here is that LDAP is just a protocol, and
does not actually

You are a legend. Yes, there are indeed several ways to verify an
md5sum, I stated the one I found most simple... =)

Oh, I forgot to mention that in k3b (cd burning program) you can check
an md5sum within a GUI. Just give it the path and hit md5sum and poof,
like magic it does its wizardry.
