What kind of problems?

Hi arshadmomen. As far as I know the tar.bz file is a directory with everithing inside ready to run... Anyway that's only a technoligy preview and I'm fine with mozilla. If I remember well, when I tested it the gtk library for amd64 doesn't work with firefox... but as I said on my last post, those are minor problems. I'll try later Thanks for your help

From an unexperienced user.... AMD64 (not the definitive) version seems to me like the others... Until now I finded two problems: 1.- the japanese input system is not installed by default, choosing UNICODE. (see my other posts) 2.- firefox 0.8 doesn't run at all. For the moment, both problems can wait for the official release... But the first problem shows that the internationalization team must work harder if they want to reach the real world (outside USA) The second problem illustrates the problem with the links between the libraries...

I Jeanrev I think Open Office can do the work without any pain. You can test also de windows version.... http://www.openoffice.org/

I emh I don't know if this answer your question... I find it at ----------------- ftp://ftp.kddlabs.co.jp/pub/Linux/distrib...Mandrake/README ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrakelinux mirror structure ------------------------------ We recommand that the devel/ official/ and old/ structures are placed into a directory named 'Mandrakelinux' Development branch: /devel ------------------- Previously named Mandrake-devel/ and Mandrake-iso/ Unstable version: /devel/cooker Last community version: /devel/community Old community versions: /devel/10.0 Development ISOs: /devel/iso/ Official branch: /official ---------------- Previously named Mandrake/ Last Official version: /official/current Updates: /official/updates Old Official versions: /official/9.2, /official/9.1, ...

supposition that if Knoppix works then Debian should also, seems me right. The point is if you have some experiencen in Debian installation and configuration.... For the begginners, Mandrake is the solution. With Mandrake 10 all the problems of ACPI APM get out... Once I Tryed Debian... it was a nightmare (FOR ME, maybe not for you) because I was a Red Hat user Debian was like chinese characters....

Sorry, the direcotry is pub/Linux/Mandrakelinux/official/10.0/i586/images/ and not pub/Linux/Mandrakelinux/official/10.0/i586/

Your question not seems to simple to me... Until know never tryed, but Why you need to put it to a DVD? I Recomment you to leave the downloaded tree in your hard disk and install from it (better from a fat 32 partition) For me is the easiest way. In the images directory (pub/Linux/Mandrakelinux/official/10.0/i586/ look for the boot.iso image, burn it to a CD y launch your PC from it, choose installation from a hard disk and you are done... To copy the tree to the DVD is redundant because you always will need the boot image (floppy, or an alternative CD driver) and if your drive is too new chances are that it can not be recognized at install level. In linux the easy way is exactly that... the easy way.

Mandrak 10 official can be downloaded from ftp (wget -rm). But not the iso images. Actually it took me 3 or four days from the taiwnaeese ftp site. You need all the i586 directory (except the SRPMS) In the images directory (ftp.isu.edu.tw/pub/Linux/Mandrakelinux/official/10.0/i586/images), there is the boot.iso image to install from the hard disk. I installed succesfully to a lap-top sharing the directory with nfs

Thanks for your kindness, I'll check it

Thank a lot ixthusdan and alexpank "check if cooker" I downloaded the iso images, I don't know where to look for. In the ftp server I was looking at, the cooker is the official 10 release (not the amd64 one) Alexpank I mean Mandrakelinux 10.0 RC1 for AMD64, actually under last versions I used the excellent guide http://www.math.wisc.edu/~stefanss/japanese/ without any problem. My problem now is with version 10 for amd64... maybe I have to waith the new version of that guide... Anyway thanks for your answers, specially the SUSE link can help me to do myself.

I just installed Mandrake 10 RC1 amd64. Here are the problems: 1.- I cannot write japanese in a kde japanese only account. At the installation I put japanese, spanish as optional languajes Because I need to see filenames made with japanese (WindowsXP), I selected UNICODE utf-8 as default. I tought this was the problem, but 2.- Looking for the installed programs kinput2 and freewnn: not installed 3.- The packages doesn't exist in the installabel database. My questions: 1.- The japanese input method is no more supported? Risk to loose the japanese market!! 2.- May be possible to install those packages from older versions?
