Well that worked like a charm! Flash now works in Firefox, mozilla, and opera :) What exactly did that command do, and how did you know to issue it? Mike

Fire fox works fine - I just get that error when trying to run it from the cl. There is no Flash though. I installed Opera, and the flash plu - still no flash...

Well, installed it. Try to open firefox: Still no Flash.

..and following the examplle from the java above I get the following: Obviously there dependencies, how to I go about finding them? All of the files at the rpm finder have identical names... I'm trying very hard to hold back my comments about linux right now, as I'm sure this will all pay off in the end When I attempt to install using the GUI, it seems to work smoothly until I get a message saying that it has a bad signature? I have not proceeded past this - is it common?

aumix installed, volume for CD is set at 100 - no sound... I'm beginning the think I need that cable.

Those files require CD4 - there were only three cd ISO images to download for Mandrake...

I don't have an aumix, just Kmix... What is the path to my CDRW? cdrom2 ? Edit: path is cdrom1... Now the tracks show - but still no sound :(

Yes, it is pointed to the dvd player, and this is ok, as I would prefer to listen to cd's in the dvd player anyhow... This also suggests that I can't use the CDRW to listen? I also found this thread at: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ar...2003/04/4/54741 suggesting that this whole matter is due to a needed cable between the drives and the mobo so it will work in linux...

:D Already tried. When I put a CD in the bottom(CDRW) drive, the player opens up and says no Disc. If I press eject in the program, the top Drive opens - not the drive w/ the CD...

The mandrake installation went a little too easy I have just noticed that I can't play CD's. I have two drives, the one on top is a DVDrom and the one beneath is a CDRW. When I put a CD into the top drive, nothing happens. When I put a CD into the bottom drive, the CD Player program opens up, but I hear nothing... I can't seem to get it to recognize CD's. Games have sound, everything else seems to work sine. Any suggestions on how to fix? Mike

OK, it gives me 3 options: gcc2.96-2.96-0.83mdk gcc2.96-c++-2.96-0.83mdk gcc2.96-cpp-2.96-0.83mdk

OK, ran the installer - it gave me an option to install into the mozilla directory or the netscape directory: There was no option for firefox... Ran the installer as root and installed into the firefox directory :) Stile get Should I have installed into the firefox/pluins directory?

I get :

Thanks a bunch guys!

OK, when I try to copy I get

I downloaded Firefox, using Ark - which I assume is similar to WinZip. Then I decompressed it into my home folder. I go to the folder and click on the Firefox icon and guess what? It opens... So have I done this right? How can I get it into the menu? I also downloaded the Flash plug, installed it via command line and it still doesn't display flash :( So I'm guessing that I have installed Firefox incorrectly... Any help is appreciated! I'm a quick learner so hopefully these n00b questions will go away soon. Mike

An uninstall/reinstall with the right disks did the trick.

Thanks for the reply! Here's what I did before I saw this post: booted from the install cd and chose upgrade, everything went fine, now the rpm database includes openoffice, however when I go to install it it asks for disk 3.... Which I haven't burned yet :) So I'll bun it this evening and see what happens then.

MOD NOTE: Moved to Software by LiquidZoo Hi guys, just installed Mandrake 10 after playing with Move for a few weeks. I burned CD1, thinking it would have everything I needed to install Mandrake. I was right, unfortunately I needed disk 2 to install openoffice... I specified installing open office in the beginning, now I'm stuck with it in the menu, but not available... When I put in disk two and navigate to the Mandrake/ folder, and double click on of the open office rpms, it asks me to insert disk 1 - I do and it simply asks again. I am a total noob when it comes to linux, any help would be appreciated. Mike
