Bruno Posted October 23, 2003 Author Posted October 23, 2003 Tips Mandrake 9.2 install ( The simple way ): 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 important for everybody ! 1). Go for all the defaults the installer presents you. ( do check if the partitioner leaves enough space for your Windows ) 2). Choosing packages: all on the left side the defaults + Gonme and KDE on the right ( If you do not run a server ( you absolutely need the development packages ) 3). Overview configuration: . . check if there are no items left un-configured ( if so config them ) 4). Install Lilo in MBR 5). Make a boot floppy too ( Problems ? Look here: Formatting floppy 1722kB and Making boot floppy ) 6). Update after install . . . 100 - 200 MB ( already ! Drakx, Harddrale, KDEbase, Gnomelibs Mplayer and many more) Don´t do all the updates at once, take groups of 4 - 6 at a time and give the process time to finish before closing the MCC ! ( Most US and French mirrors are useless, so pick a update mirror from the Netherlands or Germany) 7). After the Install, get more programs in the MCC, the default install, even with all the packages is pretty minimal, there is plenty more on the CD´s you can install with the normal "add software" in the MCC ! ( Don´t forget to run the updates again after installing the new programmes ) 8). Install anacron !!!! ( See Cron and Anacron ) WARNING: After updating/adding software: do not open the menu for 60 seconds . . it has to be written to cache ( Related to menu problem mentioned above ) Have FUN !!

SonicDragon Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 Thanks for the link! I just had a comcast technician come to my house today. He claims it's a problem with the node and not any of my stuff (yay), and that they had 5 guys working on it today. They claim it should be fully fixed by monday, and that within the next month, they will be doubling their speeds!Just to check, what speeds are you all getting from this server. I'm at 50-60Kb/sThanks again!! I can't wait Quote

BrianT1701 Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 So, now there is a dilema. Is the the final of 9.2? I just downloaded and burned 9.1 for my first time use of Linux...should I stick with 9.1(which I have yet to installed), or nix that idea and download and install this version?Since 9.1 has been around longer is it better for me a first time user to get aquainted using that?

It will save you a LOT of upgrades to other components.There should also be a lot of 9.2 users here in the next few days. Quote
Bruno Posted October 23, 2003 Author Posted October 23, 2003 Brian,9.2 ! ( you don´t realise how privileged you are )Also see my post in your other thread ! Bruno Quote
mike180 Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 Brian,9.2 is a must. I've had it for more than a week and it is a very solid OS. My only problems were created by me, and not the OS.mike180 Quote
BrianT1701 Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 Good thing it only took me under 1.5 hours to burn up these 9.1 disks. But, looks like it will take longer from this FTP.Downloading now. Quote
Bruno Posted October 23, 2003 Author Posted October 23, 2003 Patience Brian . . . I know your fingers are itching . . . . . .patience . . :DB) Bruno Quote
BrianT1701 Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 I can't deny my excitement here.Hopefully, at 1-2am I'll be running Linux. Quote
Bruno Posted October 23, 2003 Author Posted October 23, 2003 Brian,Isn´t it great fun, pure bliss ??I will be online a few hours later for my morning session, so if you have problems I will handle them then . . ( that is 04:00 New York time ) But I think you will be alright and will not have any problems . . . Just print out my instructions in the beginning of this thread and go for it. Bruno Quote
