Hi everyone. I want to install F77 compiler in Mandriva 2008 Spring. I cant find the package g77 which is supposed to contain it. Is F77 installed by other package under Mandriva 2008.1, Thanks in advance for the support, best regards Alfredo

Are there significant differences between the ONE edition and the Powerpack Edition? Thanks for the support

looking forward to try Mandriva 2008 Spring then!!

The vendor of my computer installed it since it was the only 64 bit distribution he had. I noticed that the GFORCE 8600 is not listed when in the XFdrake list. That may be because it is not supported by the powerpack? Is there any chance that with 2008 Spring Edition the driver is installed out of the box with the system instalation?

Thank you very much Scarecrow for the reply and the Welcome!!. I am new in Linux, so I think that the best option is to perform a fresh install of Mandriva, since I dont know which packages may I ahve installed. After that I will install kernel-server-devel-2.6.22.9-1mdv. Then I should configure urpmi?

Hello mandriva users. I have just bought a new computer and installed Mandriva 2008 distribution. The video card is a Nvidia Geforce 8600GT, and I have been struggling for several days to get the 3D acceleration work. I though that this distribution would recognice the card out of the box but it didnt, so I downloaded the driver form Nvidia. The first problem I am struggling with is that I dont know which rpms shoukd be installed before running the driver installation. My kernel is 2.6.22.9-server-1mdv. I installed the gcc, make and binutils package but I keep getting errors. I would greatly appreciaty if anyone can give some hints to solve the problem. I have been reading lot of posts but no one made much reference to how I must upgrade the kernel or other repositories needed before installing the driver, Thanks in advance for the help Best regards Alfredo Quevedo
