Hi all, How to register a vocal message on mandrake 9.1 ? couln't find the menu thanks

I couldn't make K3B to work on my MDK 9.1 but use XCDroast all right it gives you all the details and you can choose to burn an ISO image without problem

it looks a bit difficult for me newbie to report such a bug just to say that the 1st installation CD is hanging and my mouse and keyboard are frozen stiff with the only way to get rid of it is to cut the power my question is : am I the only one to suffer such installation trouble ? in that case I will ask the CD replacement at IKARIOS thanks for your kind answer

How can we report to Mandrake Linux that the last version of Mandrake 10.0 Official could not be installed on my laptop Compaq Armada 100S ? my mouse and keyboard freeze stif at different stages of the install process the CD's have been bought from IKARIOS by post I have the mandrake 9.1 and Win98SE running fine on this laptop thanks for your comments

When you get the mouse and keyboard frozen stiff you don't usually get any messages do you ?

Yes of course , but I waited the release of the Official Mandrake 10.0 and carefully ordered the CD's from IKARIOS in order to get rid of the CD download and burning problems How can I check the checksum of those CD's ?

Is the new Mandrake 10.0 official operational ? It doesn't seem to be as far I am concerned it hangs at all stages during install and also after reboot on HD what is wrong with it ? are we going to wait for an update soon ? I have been waiting to install a thruroughly tested distro and I got it this is bad publicity for Mandrake and I am sorry for it

Hi all, how can I install my internet connection with Gnome ? I made an install with office PC and Gnome in order to learn how to install the Internet connection without KPPP or am I bound to use KPPP even on Gnome ? thanks for your answer [moved from Installing Mandrake by spinynorman]

Hi all, I installed MDK 10.0 on my laptop compaq Armada 100S with gnome only then I installed Mozilla and got it on the Applications menus : internet/Browsers/Mozilla but when I clic on it, it starts then fails to open completely why is that ? what is the remedy ? thanks for your kind attention the know how without the how to make it known is useless

I also succeeded to install a Mandrake 9.1 in command line but this is not allowed any more with MDK10.0 I thnk I will keep 9.1 for my personnal use

I started the MDK10.0 install with the following configuration : cancelled all packages but for Gnome (in order to install only the packages needed) and no blockage during install process (does this means we have to have either KDE or Gnome installed ? I managed to install my internet connection on the way but : at reboot on HD and Gnome desktop I could not fiind any browser i could not find how to disconnect from the Net before shutting down the PC thanks for your help

I started the MDK 10.0 official installation with the first of 4 CD's I bought from Ikarios.fr I cancelled all packages proposed and I chose only : other desk environnement Partitioning went OK (as with the MDK 9.1 I installed before) then: during the phase : "system installation" the mouse froze stiff and the installing process stopped for good ! this happened twice in a row ! what am I gone do now ? ? are we bound to installe KDE ? I will check it to-morrow thanks for your kind attention

I am on Mandrake 9.1 on a laptop Compaq Armada 100S

Hi all, I suppressed KDE from the MCC and after reboot I get a window "Mandrake Linux with a list of names as follows : adm bin daemon games halt jean (that is my name) lp mail news nobody operator root rpc rpm shutdown and a few more what can I do with it I type my name but the password was not agreed upon so what should I do to connect to my window maker and install the internet connection ? thanks

Hi all, How can I install the internet connection without KPPP ? I don't want KDE & I am on Icewm How can I connect to the Net through my US Robotics Sportster and my ISP ? thanks [moved from Installing Mandrake by spinynorman]

I heard Debian was the smallest Linux I could install on a Hard disk is that true ? How much RAM does it need ? Thanks

Gowator, I am not sure I got your point Anyway my problem is now simpler After Mepis being installed on the whole HD I got this message at reboot on HD : "insert boot disk and press any key" so my question now is : Is there any testing procedure to fix a linux installation which failed ? i.g. no boot on hard disk after install is completed should we use a failsafe procedure or what ? Thanks for your attention

I installed Mepis first but at reboot after install I have stranges caracters and the message "insert boot disk and press any key" this indicates that the install went wrong somewhere isn't it ? i will go and ask on www.mepis.org and be back cherrio

I can try home in the same partition but I definitely need two root partitions ( / ) one for each distro

Now I make one / one swap and one /*home out of half of my hard disk and left the other half free then I installed MDK 9.1 OK MDK runs OK then I started to install Mepis and made other two partitions intended to be / and /home but the installer refused the partition /dev/hda2 saying none and accepted the already used swap and the new /home partitions I stopped the install afraid that mepis would choose and format the first / partition dedicated to Mandrake there I am the only solution I see is to start installing Mepis first on the hard disk and see if Mandrake accepts the root partition I make for it i thought we couldn't have 2 different root partition but from your answers I see we can have 2roots 2 home and one swap that is what I tried thanks

I think my mistake was to make 2 (/) partitions I will start again splitting the HD in 2 parts and leave the second part blank (unformated ) so that the first distro to be installed can see only one (/) one swap and one (/home) then I will make a new prtitionning during the second distro install is that better ? I think so Thanks for your advices

Hi all, What precaution should we take when partitionnong a HD in order to install two distro on the same disk ? I did a partitionning with 2 (/) 2 (swap) and 2 (/home) and at the reboot after the first installation of MDK9.1 I had the message "Kernel panic cannot find init files "

Hi all, How can we connect to the Net and get our mail with MDK9.1 installed in text mode ? should we rather install a drinou Linux distro to make it easier ?
