I got everything I need (the base and RPMS directories) from the primary
cooker ftp site (one listed on the Mandrake cooker page). I chose to
install everything (like 2.4 gigs) and along the way I got several errors
about bad or corrupt packages. Most of the packages related to kernel 2.4.x
...there was a mention of a utempter package that was bad.
So, I checked out those packages and made sure they were the correct size
(they were) and also tried downloading them again ...no success here ...same
errors. I thought maybe that it was possible those packages were fine and
maybe they had dependencies not shown that were corrupt, so ignorantly, I
tried downloading the entire RPMS dir from the second ftp site listed on the
Mandrake cooker page (ftp.sunet.se???) and tried installing again ...same
errors.
What am I doing wrong??
I am sure when I hear the answer I'm gonna be ticked, but at least I'll
know! :)
I have used Debian for a while now, but used Mandrake 7.0 when it hit the
streets (really impressive). 7.2 was even better, but I would really like
to start contributing to cooker if at all possible.
Awesome work Mandrake team and cooker contributors!!!
Thanks,
Bobby Doling
