Im new.

My name is Lukasz Tarkowski.

I have installed a bought version of Mandriva Linux 2005. There was an error but it works the Linux.

I have a problem actually no idea how to install games for mandriva linux 2005. Can someone please help me. I have attached a picture of my kde. Its on my laptop :P :lol:

Here's a useful guide:

 

Installing and Configuring Software

 

Games will be one of the groups under install software when using the rpmdrake utility that's described in the guide.

Lukasz,

 

In addition to the info jboy provided:

 

1. Check your menu under "More Applications" for installed "Documentation" and check out the Mandriva Linux Starter Guide. There is a chapter in there on Package Management which should put you on your way.

 

2. See http://www.mandrake.tips.4.free.fr/review2006.html which reviews Mandriva 2006 install process but has a section on "Background: Linux software repositories and software installation"

 

3. Also see http://www.linuxloader.com/ which may help.

 

Cheers,

Bill Congdon

If your kids are after Windows games, checkout www.transgaming.com for Cedega and Point2Play (which makes installing easy).

 

As for installing native Linux games - some have their own installers that must be downloaded and the rest are installed like any other application in Linux - urpmi being the best means in Mandriva.
