I'm reinstalling 7.2 on a pretty old box ("Eve" - 266 MHz PII, 32MB Ram, junker
Everex Monitor, etc) and I am not getting asked whether or not I have the other
cds (I have the boxed version with 7 cds). I started an install on the
computer right beside it ("Speedy Gonzalez" - 866MHz PIII, 256 MB Ram, etc) and
I got prompted about the other cds right off without any trouble. So my
problem is I can't install all the packages and software I want and need
because it doesn't ask me for the other cds that are ready and waiting to be
used. Two points of note:
1. It did the same thing the first time I installed it (on "Eve", "Speedy" was
and has always been fine), I just want to take advantage of this reinstall to
get it right. (original install was a week or so ago, for what it's worth)
and 2. I get warned about being low on system resources at the beginning of
the install, but I completed it with the graphical installation when I
originally installed the system, even tested X a few times without ever
hanging. I can go through a text install but I don't get prompted for it there
either.
Reply:I think your situation is just natural and normal.Actually,a full installation
generally occupies less than 2G space of hard disk.(according to my LM7.0 with Chinese
extensions release distribution).You can launch GNOrpm to see if there are any
packages you need to install.
You can view other CDs to check rpm packages.Right click on a rpm file,open "Kpackage"
in the menu
can install that program.
I think other several CDs are about documentation and source codes.
