Guest GorGor Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 Hullo Just bought my 9.1 isos and I have a problem or two. Oh well I will have to save up for a burner! 1) At no stage during expert or normal or UPGRADE do I get a prompt for cd 2 or 3. I have tried the text, low vga and normal vga techniques AND it only installs cd1. 2) I found the md5sum on cd 1 and I have downloaded the "patch.pl" and run it to no avail for the above options. 3) Where is the md5sum supposed to be on cd 2 or 3 please? I am guessing from other posts that the supplied isos are incomplete as no-one seems to be suggesting they had a prob with cd2. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Cannonfodder Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 You can get the md5sum file from here.. http://www.mandrakeusers.org/downloads.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GorGor Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 cannonfodder Thanks for quick reply, unfortunately what I meant to ask, showing no knowledge of iso images etc IS are these checksums supposed to be on each cd? And if so, in which folder? Alternatively, if I suspect my isos are corrupt is there a full byte size known, that I can compare against? sorry to trouble you further.

Guest GorGor Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 Just found this http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php...ghlight=cd2+9+1 and this extract is from mikoneil I fixed my problem (well this one at least!). As I mentioned I had also changed /mnt/cdrom and cdrom2 to /mnt/cdr and dvd. When I tried to istall a package from the Mandrake control center/software management it refused to accept my cd. I then edited the enty for "installation cd2" to reflect the new /mnt/dvd mounting. When I tried to update as requested it kept spitting the cd2 out. Eventually I realised I needed to put cd1 in the drive to update, even though it was cd2s entry I had just edited. It seems the hdlistn.cz files are only on the first cd. Doh! After editing the all the entries for cds 1,2 and 3 I can now install packages IS this my problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
