That's a book that's in PDF form. From the > information side of the graphical installer: SNIP Thanks for your help......however, I installed clamav and sql from the Mandrake Control Center and checked and they are installed. I rebooted(habit) and still cannot find the programs......where would they be. The documentation says they are to be in '/var/lib/rpm' and I don't see them. In the root, I typed 'urpmi clamav' and it says it is installed and the same for sql.
So I typed 'urpmi rute' and it has me put cd2 in the drive and then cd 5 and spits out ' The Following Packages Have Bad Signatures /var/cache/urpmi/gv-3.5.8.31mdk.i586.rmp.invalid key+d. Do you want to continue' (BEATS ME). I have gone to Mandrake Control Panel to install other programs and get the same thing, ' The Following Packages Have Bad Signature'. What's up with this??????? I'm doing the install (new software) from Mandrake 10.0 PowerPack CD's. HELP me understand,,,,please. bj and by the way, , , , , there's no way to get bored with this, , , ticked off yes (for not understanding), , but not bored. Thanks again for your help. > Are ya bored yet? lol > > Charlie
