toxaq Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 Just a note not a question for anyone searching about this issue: The 2 cd set of Mandrake 9.1 is a little bit dodgy. :( So far I have found that Kppp is missing ( no dialup) and Open Office is only available in Catalan and doesn't work at that. So if you are trying to set up your flat so that they can surf the net and write documents you will want to get teh DVD version or download it. Here is a link to solutions to these problems on linuxformats forum: linuxformat thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 :?: :!: :?: Mandrake 9.1 is on 3 cds... so if you only have the first 2 then of course you'll be missing stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 While there is some commercial software available on the dvd's, there is nothing "missing" from the 3 cd's that are downloadable off the internet. There are several useful programs on the third disk, also called the international cd, which include the kernel sources! :shock: You really need to get all three.

toxaq Posted July 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 Yeah, that's my warning. If you use the two cds that came with June(?) LinuxFormat magazine thinking that you are going to get a complete install well you are not. You might be able to connect dialup using Mandrake Control centre as root but otherwise there is no dialler so download the third cd or get the dvd version (where possible).... Edit: Oops apologies for the first post being misleading, the statement only relates to the two CDs that came with the Linux format magazine as the cover discs, nothing to do with the Mandrake download discs. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 Ah, so a magizine gave out 2 of the 3 cd's, eh? That is definetly a gaff on their part! You acn get a system with the first cd, if all you want to do is turn on your computer! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxaq Posted July 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 Yeah! The system worked beautifully, installed when windows couldn't and I was very happy, till I tried to open an Office document and connect to the internet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
