hi all......
i am just about installing 7.2 and theres one REALLY annoying thing going on :
whenever i come to the point of choosing which packages to install, i
choose from the main packages and
i know when counting the MB´s in brackets i ALWAYS get below 1 GB.
now whatever i choose - regardless if i go back and deselect packages -
mandrake ALWAYS tells me that
it could only install 65 % of the packages i chose.
why the hell does it say so ???......i know for sure that the packages are
below 1 GB (and i do have a 1029 MB drive).
this is driving me crazy, its hell to add all the different packages i lack
later...
i first tried a text only install and there it worked without any problems !
Furthermore the text-only install doesnt provide a partition utility
whereas the gui does---why ???
i was only offered to decide between the existing partitions or the hd i
wanted to install mandrake to.
now i have 1 IDE and 1 SCSI disk, i wanted the / system to be on IDE and
/usr to be on SCSI.
but mandrake only allowed me to put the whole system EITHER on IDE or
EITHER on SCSI
( and it created the partitions itself - it didnt ask me if i wanted to
create them myself ! - btw i was in expert mode !)
this is really disappointing, those things make installing mandrake a pain !
has anyone else experienced those things ?
