aioshin Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Anyone here has the Idea what are those packages that can be found on main repository that cannot be found on the 3 CD (free for download)? This is for LE 2005.. or all of the packages that belongs to Main are on those 3 CD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavaeolus Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Don't know for sure about 2005, but if I remember correctly for 2006 there is only one database server on the CDs (don't know if it's postgre or mysql though), proftp and some apache-packages aren't included, too, others I don't know; I just installed it, connected to the Internet, told it where to get the installation sources and never ever used the CDs since sure for someone not on broadband this might be a problem, maybe mandriva should think of a fourth CD in the Free Edition (like FC4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Look in the ftp server main folder, and find out. Main holds 3.8GB of packages - quite a bit more than what fits on 3 cds... (You could use the commands cat, ls and diff to have a look which files are in main but not on the cds, and the other way around...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
