When it needs a file from disk 4 it ejects the CD tray and waits until you put disk 4 in and click on ok. > Is that the case? It won't look anywhere else for that file, even if it is available from another source. > If not then how can people (who may currently not know all that much) > deal with this. They can remove disk 4 from their list of sources. To do that they should click on the Star menu and find the bit where Media Sources are configured (I'm not in front of a Mandrake PC at the moment so I can't tell you the exact menu structure). They will be asked for the root password and then the list of sources will be displayed. From there they can select disk 4 and delete it from the list. Now they can try to install their package again and it should get if from a different source (the Internet). Alternatively, they can get a copy of disk 4. I only have 1 copy of disk 4 at the moment. Maybe if there are people on the list who want a copy, they should say so now and we can have enough copies available at the meeting on Thursday. I won't be able to make it this time, so if Robert could burn these, that would be great. Thinking about it now, we should have had installers remove the disk 4 source during the installation.
