fiery Posted July 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Do I have to download it as an update and install it with rpmdrake or do I downlad it then burn it to a disk then install it? Does it have any video editing software included in 10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 You need to burn it as 3 iso's (or advanced users can cheat and just use one but 3 is simpler and the recommended way but yuou can use CDRW) Install as NEW... don't upgrade..... When your finished installing, internnet is working etc. come back here and check the FAQ for easy urpmi... this is the online repository for installing new SW... the first thing you will need is DVD playback which means using the plf source (you will learn what this means in the FAQ) and then you add libdvdcss2 (which is the file for playing encrpted DVD's) ... you can then try lots of different video editng SW....

fiery Posted August 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 I downloaded mdk 10 cd4 iso to my hard drive.I then burned it with k3b it went to one disk.Was this the correct way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 You need CD's 1-3 burned too. (Did you already burn these ) Upgrades are not the best way..clean installs are better specially for noobies cos then they are 'clean' and unexpected things dont happen :D Once you have them you put in Cd1 and then just reboot ... use the same partitions it did last time and reformat them.... It 'should be fine' Did you dload the CD for the OE or CE... The OE might be better, although its less 'bleedding edge' it is supposedly more stable and less not working as it should...

phunni Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 If you had a partition especially for /home - don't format that... Unless you don't have anything you need to keep, in which case it's easier to not worry about it! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

william Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 put disk 2 instead and choose for a new install, it will ask for cd #1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
