Since 10.1 OE is still only available to club members we have no way of verifying that there will be a 4th cd made available to the public (and as such, any links to a 4th cd will be removed until it is verified), but looking at the 10.1 mirror (proxad and carroll) the only kdebase file that is there is kdebase-3.2.3-128mdk which says to me that it will not be offered as a general download.

Just so you know... KDE 3.3 is not included with 10.1 Official (Download) as far as I know. It is on the Powerpack dvd, but is also available from cooker. Just a warning: Cooker is not for everyone and I do not recommend going this route.

You need to be more specific about what issues you're having so that the community can help you troubleshoot and fix them.

The dvd is the powerpack, which I believe is available for gold club members to download; but other than that it is only available for purchase. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong

Nominated Screenshot Mandrake 10.2 (Cooker) KDE 3.3.1 xorg 6.8.1 xcompmgr transset

acme would work for that. I use it on my laptop urpmi acme

I know for a fact that the cooker mirrors are updated on almost a daily basis. Not sure about the other mirrors, though.

New from me. screenshot script in the shot gives all the info you need btw, thanks iph and cybrjackle for the script ideas

Have you noticed, as I have the stupid solid black DOWNLOAD on the side of the kmenu (kside) in Mandrake 10.1 (and above ;))? Want to get rid of it? Here's how: If you want your own kside, head to http://www.kde-look.org and grab one If you want to use the stock KDE 3.2 (or 3.3) kside, grab kside.png AND kside_tile.png from /usr/share/apps/kicker/pics (you need both files for this to work correctly) Paste or unzip these two files into ~/.kde/share/apps/kicker/pics (create the folder if it doesn't exist) Once that is done, rename kside.png to kside_download.png Restart kicker and enjoy /me wonders why Mandrake has to put their own 'improvements' like this and the kmenu.png rename into KDE...

Cooker has been unlocked again: [Coruscant//liquidzoo]$ cat /etc/release Mandrakelinux release 10.2 (Cooker) for i586 [Coruscant//liquidzoo]$ If you're waiting to update and use Carroll, I'd wait at least 24 hours. There seem to be some issues right now between mandrakelinux-kde-config-file and KDE 3.3.1 that I can't seem to figure out... It's saying mandrakelinux-kde-config-file needs to be uninstalled due to conflicts with kdebase-progs-3.3.1, but kde-config-file is needed by kdebase-progs-3.3.1

I've had really good success with Linksys routers. I have a Wireless-B model that works really well. As for adapters, I know nothing about usb adapters, which is what you'll most likely need for your X-Box, but if you find a pcmcia card based on an Orinoco chipset it will work out of the box (well, my FAQ will get you started anyway). I have a Siemens Speedstream Wireless-B card that works perfectly. In fact, it works in Linux at my friends house where it won't on the Windows side. Not too sure why that is, but it's nice.

So you went to /mnt/hda5/etc ? If you mounted it, then went to /etc, you're still getting knoppix. The reason we're saying this is that it does not look like a lilo from Mandrake. Unless they've changed their format and added a whole lot of comments, that is.

Do you have another instance of urpmi running? Do you have any of the gui tools for installing or removing software open? If so, close them then try.

Yes, but if he's getting an error after that, I want to see his /etc/lilo.conf and see if we can find the error

Can you post the contents of lilo.conf here for us to look at? Also, you don't need the ./ before lilo, just typing lilo will work.

You need to edit your lilo.conf line then. The vga= line needs to be separate from the append= line Here's my lilo.conf file for comparison: # File generated by DrakX/drakboot # WARNING: do not forget to run lilo after modifying this file default="linux" boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map vga=794 keytable=/boot/us.klt prompt nowarn timeout=100 message=/boot/message menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux" root=/dev/hdb1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=nomount splash=silent" vga=788 read-only other=/dev/hda1 label="XP" table=/dev/hda image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8.1-8mdk label="linux-2681-8" root=/dev/hdb1 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.8.1-8mdk.img append="devfs=nomount splash=silent" vga=788 read-only

Are you issuing the chroot command as root? If not, you have to do that. Also, you will have to modify the lilo file as root as well. In knoppix, there is no root password. Just open a console, type su and hit enter

2 ways that I can think of: 1: boot to cd, hit F1 and type rescue. Then reinstall the bootloader from the menu there, but apparently that option is not working for you. 2: boot to a livecd (like knoppix), open a konsole and su to root, mount your / partition in /mnt (ie: mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt for me), then type chroot /mnt to chroot into your Mandrake installation. Now would also be a good time to add XP to lilo.conf so edit that (vim /etc/lilo.conf) and add something like this: other=/dev/hda1 label="XP" table=/dev/hda Save that file, then type lilo -v to reload lilo. Exit out and reboot and all should be well.

now if that is a link to a publicly unrelease version then that kind of links is not tolerated on this board. well i think it still is not because we respect mandrakesoft's marketing decision on their release dates. correct me if im wrong but im flagging this post for mod attention just in case. ciao! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Right you are and even though I can't verify the link myself, it's gone. To all: Please refrain from posting links to anything other than publically released isos. This includes links to cd 4 if it is not released publically. Thank you

Ok. Let's troubleshoot this. Can you boot to another kernel? If so, that's great. If you could post the output of the following commands it would be great: ls -l /boot cat /etc/lilo.conf This way we could troubleshoot the issue a bit more. My guess is that it's something easy to fix, but overlooked. We all do it.

Try setting up the Wireless card in a mode other than Ad-hoc. Ad-hoc is for Computer <--> computer connections, generally without internet.

Chances are that you would need ndiswrapper for it to run correctly. There are a couple of posts around the forum about it and how to configure it. I don't use it, so I wouldn't be able to tell you specifics. You also might want to check out http://linux-wlan.org/ for some more info on that particular card.

As root, edit the file /etc/modprobe.preload and make sure yenta_socket is in there. If not, add it. Then save the file and reboot. That should clear up your issue. I had something very similar happen to me and that's what I had to do. To edit the file as root, open a console and type: kwrite /etc/modprobe.preload If you use gnome: gedit /etc/modprobe.preload
