I am not sure what your problem is, I have loaded heaps of rpms and tarballs on my 8.1 test box and havent had any failures..
and most of the rpm's were not mandrake rpms.. I have also rebuilt rpms for other target types then my default i686 and had no problems... exactly what are your problems? rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Harold Hartley Sent: Friday, 14 December 2001 10:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] mandrake 8.1 I picked up mandrake 8.1 and found severals faults with it... 1.) Why would one buy the standard version without a video/audio player for the internet such as real player. 2.) I find when you download a rpm file from the internet and want to install it, it won't let you install it because of some error with db3 stuff.. I thought I'd save money as I only have $40.00 per month for spending money and download the other free stuff to save money. Now I hope I can get my money back when I take it back where I got it.. If the problem I encountered as above with No. 2 , then I will have to forget about mandrake and go with another distro after the years of using Mandrake. does anyone have any idea about No.2 or have the same problem..
