I installed it from scratch. Or I should say, I made the effort. But
installation failed over and over again. I downloaded the two ISO images
from Mandrake 8 beta1 but with installation of the packages I got several
interrupt at instalation stating: "Some important packages could not be
installed , do you wnat to continue anyway".
I tried the installation a few times but everytime i got the error and
eveytime it failed at different packages.
I now installed MDK72 again and I will try to upgrade manually to the
packages I want. I had similar problems when I installed (some time ago)
Mandrake 7.2 Beta.
When the beta it is installed it works usually fine , but I always have lots
of problems with installation.
