I found the problem. The Md5 checksums of the files I downloaded don't match up the correct checksums. >< Back to waiting for a download.

Subject: [newbie] 10.1 Installation Error
Ok, on the advice of several people from this list, I downloaded the 10.1 ISO files, and burned them to CD. Initially the installation seemed to be working fine, until I reached the end of Partitioning step. I set up the partitioning, and selected next. I then received an Internal Error: no kernal available. MDK::Common::Various::internal_error() called from /usr/bin/perl-install/pkgs.pm197 pkgs::bestKernelPackage() called from /usr/bin/perl-install/install_any.pm:610 and so on.
Any thoughts on what might have caused this?

I had a problem with the modem. I have a D-Link external modem, which used to work fine on 10.0. I decided to install 10.1 yesterday and I started a Hard Disk install. Everything went fine. All the packages and all got installed correctly, just that it didn't allow me to configure the internet connection after the installation. I selected "Modem connection". The installation detected the modem properly. I clicked next and it gave a similar "perl" error.
I then finished the installation, rebooted the pc in runlevel 3. I logged in as a user and hit "startx". The KDE splash showed up. But then suddenly the "Welcome" window popped up. This is the window that pops up when KDE starts. Though, at that moment, all I could see in that window was the check box at the bottom that says "Show this windows when KDE starts" or something and the close button. Not to mention, I couldn't click either. The splash screen meanwhile, was stuck on the 2nd thing.... ermmm, I don't remember what it is! But anyways. So I killed X and hit startx again. This time, KDE started properly, but I didn't get the "First time wizard". Now in KDE, things work fine, but I can't restore windows once I maximize them. Anyways that doesn't matter.
The problem is with the internet connection. I started KPPP and manually configured the modem and the rest of the settings. KPPP connected fine, but I'm unable to send or receive any data on the line. No browser works. Gaim, Kopete... neither manages to connect to the internet and urpmi can't find the servers either. The modem works fine in Windows XP and so it did in Mandrake 10.0.
I've downloaded the ISOs for 10.1 from the internet and verified the MD5SUM. I extracted all the files from the ISOs to a folder and installed from the HDD. I booted off the first CD. Any idea about what's wrong?
Thank you.
