Just some feedback on recent installer issues. This is all using the same ISO's from beta1 that you all have.
Platform: iMac Rev2 128MB RAM Time Zone selection, recommended install - Mine was defaulted at NY - If I pressed the button I get the whole list. I did a new install, making sure to select items from CD2 (xfce, xscreensaver), and Development Group. About the last 2 minutes of the install, after xpdf, it asked me for CD2 and installed the rest of the packages. The install stopped once with an error on kdesdk. >From the console, after boot, as root, I ran urpmi xfishtank, and it installed from CD2. In X, I ran Control-Center --> Software Manager Selected webmin, penguin-command, xmms, pysol, openuniverse 2 needed packages missing perl-Authgen-PAM, and libglut webmin had a cpio error and failed (my MD5 sum was bad). There was no successive swapping of CD's just 1 request. >From an xterm, as root, I did urpmi kernel-source offered to install libncurses too Another cpio error - bad package. ran rpm -K /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPM1/* | grep NOT rpm -K /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPM2/* | grep NOT for both CD's and got the following bad packages on my images: webmin kernel-source kdesdk aspell-nl ntp gnuplot enlightenment If you are experiencing problems with packages, you might want to do the same. Hope this is of some help.
