Do you know where the config file is? I cannot find it -- my CPU is still running full blast and my fingers are HOT.

They posted the 10.0 OE .iso images though.

I've seen the 10.1OE torrent that is a big DVD, but I don't have a DVD burner. Is there a 10.1Official torrent for the seperate disks yet? 10.1OE is on many of the regular Mandrake servers as .rpms -- I don't know why they haven't posted the seperate .iso files yet.

Has mandrake gotten around to putting it in the standard distro yet? I'm tired of installing by hand. Even though it's (finally) just a one click process to install, I never am quite sure where to put it -- and then I forget where I finaly did decide to put it when it's time to upgrade.

It's 10.1 OE!!!!! http://www.mandrake.org [moved from Installing Mandrake by spinynorman]

:D :lol: Thanks for the tip!

Heck, I've been using it since 0.3, and it was better than IE even then. No one believed me though.

I've been trying various flavours of Mandrake on my P1120 since Mandrake 9. They all worked pretty well, except that I've never managed (i.e., gone through the trouble) to get the following working: 1. Touchscreen (maybe 2 people on earth managed to make this work) 2. Longrun (supposedly in the built into the latest mandrake kernel) 3. sleep on lid close. Right now it's running 10.0 Community and everything except the above works, including USB, simultaneous USB mouse and eraser mouse, disk spin down, screen blanking, wireless. I had to manually tweak X for the screen size and mice, but everything else, including built in wireless was good to go out of the box. When 10.1 Official comes out, I'm going to try to get 1, 2, and 3 above to work. If anyone has any pointers, I'd love to hear them!!!

Just stick in the mandrake disk, and when it gets to the disk partitions part of the install, select "custom" or "advanced" or whatever the thing is called, delete the old linux partition, make a new one in the same space, name it "/" (yes, you give it the name of a slash character without the quotes), format it again using ext3 filesystem (which is the most rock solid IMO), and then continue with the regular mandrake installation.

That Is the directory I went to Assuming that was the Latest Version for Intel Based PC... soo someone plz tell me an easier way to install java. or plz have the patience to explain to me HOW to go about this. :mdk: :mellow: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Really, I just don't remember anymore. I always just figure out how to install something more or less from scratch, by doing lots of google searches and by reading the documentation that comes with the software. Here are some little things I remember: Java: get it from java.sun.com or sun.java.com or whatever the place is called. You may have to install from the command line, and you may have to install as root, or at least "su" Azureus. I think I kept googling until I found a Mandrake.rpm version and just installed it by double clicking. I'm not sure.

But that makes no sense at all. There's tons of software in mandrake that hasn't hit 1.0 1.0 is just a concept, it doesn't really mean anything.

Absolutely Azureus. You need to install JAVA first, and it can be a bit of a pain to get running at first, but once you do, it has the ability to work cross-platform (Windows/Mandrake) on the same files. Azureus is by far the best.

I wish it would minimize to the system tray, but I've been wishing that for years. I thought I saw a wrapper for XMMS once that would do that, but it needed to be compiled into KDE or something, which had me hitting the back button as fast as my little fingers could click!

Ouch! Thanks for the info. I was hoping for something painless like an automagic security update.

I've been using Firefox for YEARS on both Win and Lin because it's the best browser hands down once one learns how to customize it. I think many (most?) if you would agree. But I always have to do a seperate download. Mandrake sticks all kinds of other wierd browsers in their distro that hardly anyone uses, and that are far less useful and stable than firefox. I just don't understand it. [moved from Software by spinynorman]
