I installed the latest beta version, "checkinstall-1.6.0-0.beta3.2mdk.i586", and then the rebuilding went fine. :-) Now if I can only get apollon to work. :-| Mandrake 10.0 is proving to be a challenge for me thus far. It isn't nearly as stable as 9.2 was on my Dell. It also seems like things aren't as easy to find, and to configure. I found 9.2 was a real rock solid version for me on my hardware. I lost my previous installation due to a failed harddrive, and after installing a new Maxtor 40GB, I thought it would be good to go with the latest and greatest version of Mandrake. It has been somewhat of a letdown so far.
