Artem Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 How do you full install Mandrake 9.2? By full install I mean install all the packages on all 3 cd's. Even if I select all the categories on the "choose your packages" screen, it doesn't install all the packages, and only uses cd1. So, how do I force it to install ALL the packages on ALL 3 cd's? Thanks. -Artem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 At the boot screen hit F1 and then type 'expert' without the quotes. That will allow you to select which disks you have. After you select all the categories, you have to check the box that says 'Individual Package Selection' and then on the next screen, expand every category and check everything underneath it.

During the install (if you haven't done it already) if it looks like a package gets stuck you can check by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F4 (or is it F3?). That will bring up a console which will show you exactly whaT IS being installed. If errors occur you'll see something like error : blah blah. If it is complaining about your disk and has input/output errors after 5 minutes. I'd say the cd is bad and suggest using another one (although you can probably get away with MDk installing).
