I should run quite well on your system. FG runs at about 30-50 fps on my system which is an Athlon XP 2000+, 256MB RAM, Ti4200 128MB graphics card and Mandrake 10.1 > What are all the packages I need and where > will I find them? > Regards, > Simon. Unfortunately there are no up to date binary FlightGear packages for Mandrake. The latest binary package of FlightGear for MDK is available on the contrib mirrors and is version 0.9.5 which is rather outdated. If you want to run a newer version of FlightGear you'll have to download and compile it from source. This is not hard to do if you have some experience compiling Linux apps from source. You need two packages : "source" and "data" The lastest official release was 0.9.6 and can be found here : http://www.flightgear.org/Downloads/source.html However I recommend that you get a copy of what is in CVS and compile and install that instead because you have to compile from scratch wether you use the official release or the CVS version and with the CVS version you get all the up to date fixes and additions. The instructions for getting the CVS source/data is here : http://www.flightgear.org/cvs.html Regards Paul _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
