korsam Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Here's the deal. For some reason, my CDRW drive doesn't read my Mandrake 10 CD3, but my DVD drive will. If I click on "Install software" and get the program up and try to install anything it brings up K3B because it thinks the CD is blank (I guess). If I put the same CD in my DVD drive and browse the CD to the RPM I want to install, I am successfull. So the issue seems to be the drive. Yep, it could be dirty or whatever but my question is: How do I tell Mandrake (10) to install from the DVD drive (/dev/hdd) instead of the CDRW drive (/dev/hdc)?

spiedra Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 (edited) Make the DVD drive the master and your CDRW the slave. Edited July 24, 2004 by spiedra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 If you open your Software Sources Manager from your menu (System > Configuration > Packaging) you can edit that particular source only. Change the path and save the changes. Ex: If it says file:///mnt/cdrom Change it to file:///mnt/cdrom2 (or whatever your dvd-rom is in /mnt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
