I got a free laptop from my brother-in-law and I'm striking a few minor difficulties/anomalies installing Mandrake 9.0 or 9.1 on it...
Its a Toshie 440CDX Satellite Pro, 133MHz Pentium/MMX, 48MB RAM, 6GB disk, PCMCIA modem and near-death 12.1 inactive-matrix screen! Not exactly state-of-art, but still a runner...I've binned Win98 and wiped the hard drive clean...
When I install MDK either 9.0 or 9.1 I notice that when its time to select packages (individually) some are missing from the category they come under (notably stuff from discs 2 and 3)...
I'm warned the system has low resources, and that text mode install might be better, but no more errors come up during installation of programs. Other than that it runs, albeit slowly with KDE 3.1 ;-)
Anyone got any ideas as to why rpmdrake cannot see these RPM's?
Kind regards,
Chris Wilkinson, Chch
