Guest Raiserkling Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 (edited) Hi guys, I've installed Mandriva Mini (Mandriva Full didn't boot for some reason.. anyway) and it all worked perfectly. Problem is though, I can't find any software to do anything with. I have some sort of window manager thing, but nothing else. Not even the internet (maybe I do, but I have no idea where to find it). I've used Knoppix and Mandrake 9 before, but that was the full version with heaps and heaps ... and heaps of applications on there already. Any ideas? - Rasierkling Edited June 29, 2005 by Raiserkling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeDubb Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 I would suggest you solve the problem by figureing out why the full version wouldn't boot. Chances are, it was either a bad downlaod or a bad CD. Run and md5 sum on the iso, and if it's good, burn the CD again. The mini-install is just that, mini. It's really not intended as a desktop os. It's for people who want a minimal os for some sort of router or project machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Raiserkling Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Okay excellent, thanks heaps! I didn't know that about the mini. I did do a checksum on the full version, and it was okay. I just did another few CDs which fixed the problem. Well done Uh, with your avatar - fire doesn't really have a shadow does it? Thanks again, Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durvish Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 ummm, yes fire does actually cast a shadow when it isn't the only light source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
