  1. Just had a look at that easyurpmi site. I don't have broadband. Is there a way I can update to 10.1 community through 10.0 community. I wish to update to 10.1 community using my CD-ROMs
  2. Will this mean I have the latest version of Mandrake, not just the applications, I wanted the wireless support that mandrake 10.1 Had to offer
  3. I am new at all this. What is easyurpmi? What are mirrors (other then the ones you look at) and no I don't have broadband
  4. After a friend gave me the mandrake 10.1 community CD-ROMs I tried installing it. After selecting my CD-ROM drive I wish to use for the installation then inserting the CD1 I got an error message "Could not open compressed ramdisk file (/sysroot/tmp/image/install/stage2/mdkinst_stage2.bz2.) Any ideas on how to install it??? (I had mandrake 10.0 community installed fine) If all else fails, Is there a way I could install mandrake 10.1 from within mandrake 10.0????? Thanks for your time, Scott
  5. Is it out yet? How much longer do I have to wait?
  6. Should I wast my time downloading mandrake 10.1rc1 (or whatever there up to) or just waight till the final release. A few more questions. What does the final release have in it that the beta versions don't. How long is it will they release the final release? Thanks.
  7. Is it detected by mandrake? well when the computer starts up it says "bringing up eth1:" and i'm talking to you using mandrake (proxy settings in mandrake, the only web browser I can use)
  8. Hello all. I have just got my wireless network card to work using linuxant and am having problems setting up a proxy. When i go into Mandrake control center -> internet & network -> internet access, I get this warning: "You don't have any configured internet connection. Please run internet access in the control centre" Can someone please help me with this, I am running mandrake 10 [moved from Hardware by spinynorman]
  9. Ok so where can I download this mandrake 10.1 (i'll just do it at school and leave it going over night.) I do not want to pay for something I don't know will work. I found some beta testing downloads on the web for mandrake 10.1 is this version the same as the beta versions, if I have to pay and if it is the same i'll just download that. Thanks
  10. Just been googling. Is the place download kernels www.kernel.org I donloaded the top one and it was only 335kb (does not sound right) Can you please point me in the right direction on where I can install it now. p.s Thanks for your help You have been a real help
  11. But I want it now :( How long would it take to download 10.1 with a 56k modem. I don't have internet connection on my linux machine.
  12. Ran those things. This is the output p.s Where can I get this new kernal. What is a kernal? will it support any extra hardware. Thanks. p.s My linux computer can not get on the net as I need to run the internet through a proxy server (through my wireless LAN)
  13. I e-mailed medion technical support asking them what type of wireless network card I have and this was their reply I'm trying something called LinuxAnt to get it to work. I'll let you know how I go Thanks, Scott
  14. Thanks for the drivers page. I don't know what type of prism card I have as all it says in windows is Prism 802.11g card. If you could direct me to how I could find out that would be helpful. If it helps my computer is a medion MD8083 (aldi computer.)
