Welcome to the board. :)

There's a perl-doc package (which includes perldoc) on the 5th CD, but there's an updated version at rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/2580846/com/perl-doc-5.8.7-3.2.20060mdk.i586.rpm.html.

Firefox 1.5.0.3 is here, and AFAIK working well:

http://www.mandrivaclub.nl/sources/official/2006/i586/

Just set the above site as a repo first:

urpmi.addmedia mcnl http://www.mandrivaclub.nl/sources/official/2006/i586/ with hdlist.cz

and then simply

urpmi mozilla-firefox

AFAIK = as far as I know

repo = repository

mcnl = abbreviated name for the mandrivaclub.nl source

hdlist.cz = file containing software details for the source

urpmi = command for installing software

Use the FAQ link in my signature to find out more... :)

what's the extra features/differences of the full AVG compared to the free version?

There's a comparison at free.grisoft.com/doc/1. :)

Ummm, no. We deal with "problems" of almost any distro you throw at us. Many of us use and know more than only Mandriva. ;)

Just post your questions in Other Linux & Unix Distributions. :)

Mandriva One is just a version of Mandriva 2006 that fits on one CD. It is basically a live CD, which means you can run it from the CD without installing. You can install it, but obviously it has a lot less software than the full version. The updates you get will not be more recent, as they come from the same source.

If you're having problems configuring X, please give more details so someone can help you.

e.g. is the abbreviation for exempli gratia, a Latin phrase meaning "for example." :)

Try to configure your display as suggested by ianw1974 in that thread.

Welcome to the board. :)

This thread may help you.

This looks easy to understand: www.howstuffworks.com/c.htm.

Haven't actually tried it, though... :)

The official release of Mandriva 2006 was in November 2005. You can download it from www.mandriva.com/en/downloads/mirrors/2006iso.

Once you've got it installed, use the EasyUrpmi link at the top of this page to set up your software sources, and then get all the latest updates via the Mandriva Control Centre ('Configure your Computer' on the menu). :)

BTW....how do I mark this thread solved?

Edit the first post. :)

Read the article I linked to. :)

You can get the rpm at rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/2173326/com/checkinstall-1.6.0-1mdk.i586.rpm.html (for 2006).

What you need is probably "checkinstall".

Yes, read about it here. :)

Good letter, arctic, and at least he read it. :)

... or you can create a shortcut on your desktop: right click on desktop - Create New... Link to Application. Under the General tab, enter a suitable label (SuperUser?); under the Application tab, enter the following as the Command:

 kdesu 'kfmclient openProfile filemanagement'

Click OK, and you're ready to go. :)

There's also a test you can take on the redhat site that lets you know how ready you are. Sorry, I don't have a link.

As a general discussion, this is better suited to Everything Linux. :)

dude67 - I've split this from the solved thread so you get proper attention. :)
