I use Mandrake (for testing and playing) on an old PII 333Mhz box here at work.
It used to have 9.2 on it and it was fine. When I tried 10-Beta2 it used the text based install until I upgraded the video card but it did install. When I tried 10 -rc1 the install started from the boot CD but then after a few screens told me that it could not find the CD. Back to 10-Beta2, installed OK except I cannot get sound working, sndconfig worked and I got the test sound but I cannot get sound in KDE Regarding packages, both Beta2 and rc1 are very cut down versions. As we speak I am reinstalling 9.2 Regards, Robert Some days you are the bug, some days you are the windscreen. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Bell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 27 February 2004 10:05 a.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mandrake 10 install question Hi I installed (kind of) MDK10 RC1 at home last night, on dual boot XP PII350 320MB RAM. Has anyone else on list installed this? Reason I ask is the sucker did a text based install on me (yuk). Did it do a graphical install for you? Next thing was I chose "internet computer" and "Multimedia computer" in terms of packages to install. It installed pretty darn quick, and I saw things like openoffice flick by, but upon first boot, KDE had next to nothing in the menu. No Mandrake Control Center even! What to do? I only had CD's 1&2, cos I'd heard you could make do without three. It asked for CD 3 at about 95% completion, but said click cancel (in my text environment, yeah right) to avoid installation from this CD. Is this my problem, or did something else go wrong? Thanks for your advice! Come on Mandrake camp, I don't want to have to defect to another distro here!
