Error Installing MDK 10.0

:unsure:

I installed from d/l iso twice now (after low level format) but get error:

"error installing packages Xfree86-4.3-30mdk.i586"

I chose "continue anyway" and instal finished.

So what was that?

Is it serious?

Should I re-download the iso?

or is it more likely a bad cd burn?

 

Or, even the greatest mystery of all: Where are installation instructions for 10.0 on the internet?

It's dated but still usefull.

 

The Xfree package is pretty important. You won't be able start X (the graphics server) without it. I suggest you try an update.

 

Boot into linux and login as root.

 

Type this:

urpmi.addmedia --update updates ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributions/Mandrakelinux/official/updates/10.0/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz

<enter>

 

then type: urpmi --auto-select

 

exit from root (type exit), login as normal user and start X (Type startx)

 

Good luck
