> I'm trying to give mono a try. My questions in a nutshell is, "Where > should I start?" Is there a page for Mono newbies?
I have read some of the responses, and they basically went something like: Get RedCarpet, if your distribution is not supported -> switch to something else. Now, I try to keep up-to-date on different distributions and have found Mandrake to be the best (running 10.0 like you are). I would not switch. Mandrake has package magement built in, and it supports automatic resolving dependencies (like RedCarpet). The mono packages are also available as Mandrake Cooker packages. Here is how you can install mono: After finding a mirror of your liking you can add the mirror as a software source using "Media Manager" under "Software Management" in the Mandrake Linux Control Center (Configure your computer). If you are a Mandrake Club member adding software sources is made easy by using the Mandrake Club web-site. On the web-site you can lookup mirrors. When you select a mirror you are shown a command for adding your mirror to the Media Manager. If you are not a Mandrake Club member you will have to find a mirror manually. After adding the mirror as a software source you should be able to use "Install" under "Software Management" to search for and install mono, including dependencies. Best of luck to you! <Roger/> _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
