Mandrake enthusiasts, I've had a problem installing multi-CD Mandrake 7.1 on three (3) computers with different, but working, CD-ROM drives. These computers didn't have any problem when installing single-CD using Mandrake 7.0.2 before. Anyway, when prompted early on the installation if I have additional CDs labeled "Extension CD(x86)","Applications CD 1(x86)", and "Applications CD 2(x86",I chose "Extensions CD(x86)"--which I have (although it was only labeled "CDROM" based on the master CD information from which I copied from). After completing the process of installation using the base CD, the installation software prompted me to insert the Extension CD(x86). The CD from the CD-ROM drive would not eject no matter what I do...even going to another screen using CTRL-ALT-FKEY(whatever F key would bring you to bash) to unmount the temporary CDROM mount or changing the CD label correctly to "Extension CD(x86"). I manage to succesfully eject the CD with a paper clip but the installation screen froze. Same problem with the three computers using Asus 40X, 45X and 50X CD-ROM drives. I decided finally to tell the installation process I have only one(1) CD and just do an "rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps *.rpm" to the extension CD...it's all RPMs a nyway. Just make sure you have more than 1.6 GIG on your /usr partition. BTW, Sawmill + Gnome is great. Enjoy, Helium users.
