Dear Sir or Madam: I am a newbee working on learning Linux. Purchased the 9.1 release of Mandrake from Ebay. Loaded the Mandrake MNF on this machine and it worked correctly. Also have run Smoothwall on the same machine and it worked correctly as well.
The machine is: Pentium II 450 MHZ 196 Meg of Ram 15 Gig IBM Deskstar IDE hard drive master on Bus A 56x CDROM slave on Bus A Diamond Stealth II S220 video card NEC XV15+ monitor Realtek 10/100 Enet card The install went smooth until the configuration for the graphics card. No matter how I twiddled with the parameters I kept on getting the "Caught Signal 4." error message. Also, the software seemed to want to configure the video card as a Rendition video card. So I just continued with the installation. When I log on I use the bash shell. The machine is up and running but get the following dump XFree86.0.log every time I attempt to start XFree86. I have looked at what rpm's are loaded and have found that almost none of the XFree packages have been loaded. I have manually loaded glibc-devel-2.3.1-10mdk.i586.rmp and fontconfig-2.1-9mdk.i586.rpm After this I attempt to load XFree86-devel-4.3-5mdk.i586.rpm and I get told that XFree86-devel is looking for fontconfig-2.1-4mdk.i586.rpm (which isn't on the CD). Am I not doing something correctly? I would appreciate any help you can send my way. Thanks in advance. Regards, Jim
