I'd say that perhaps there are some things on CD3 that got missed or your mix of hardware caused it to go into ncurses install.
You can urpmi the rest from the cli if you need to. Also, Control Centre may have been installed but just not the graphical front end for it. Try running MMC from the cli and see how you go. Once you have done that, the CD's should have been automagically set up as sources for you and from the cli: 'urpmi packagename' is your friend.
Don't give up, I have urpmi'd to the latest cooker today and it is very sharp indeed.
Cheers
Jason PS, once you have main and contrib sources set up, you want: urpmi --auto-select --force to stay updated.

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!
