Bruno Posted May 24, 2004 Author Share Posted May 24, 2004 LOL Ryan . .that is the way to do it . . . :DMESSAGE TO ALL:For a smooth install, have a look at the NOTE I placed at "9th screen: Packages" in the first post of this thread: http://forums.scotsnewsletter.com/index.ph...=ST&f=14&t=6632basically it says: at package selection during install check all the boxes to the left and all the window managers on the right AND check the box of individual packages and press next . . then add:kdegraphics kdvi koffice xpdfgimp data-extras mplayer-ui xine-ui xmmsxmms-alsa kdeadons kget xtermbash-completion keditusbview kdeedu nmap-frontend This somehow corrects some little tiny bug in the installer a very few people encountered.

trigggl Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Well, Sbc Yahoo promised me a minimum of 300K downloads, but I've yet to see anything greater than 180K.

charlie Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Teacher, BrunoDownloaded Mdk10 Offical, checked checksum and now have 3 CDs ready to install And a print out on the information on screen 9. Maybe it is self evedient , but a clean install after backing up all your data or an upgrade over the comunity version. As a new "version" a clean install would eliminate any problems in the community version. ??????Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 It is probably best to do a clean install but there is no need to overwrite your /home partition. That way you should not lose anything! I received my power pack today and will be doing the same thing. My plan is to leave home alone (plus I will back it up first just to be safe) and simply reformat my / partition. I do plan to save my Lilo as a back up so I can reinstall it after I am done since i have several different distros on my computer!Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least then, I should be able to see if the upgrade is not where it's supposed to be. If it turns out too bad, I can always go back and do the fresh install. Most of my programs are already at Official levels.Thanks, Bruno, by the way, for this early warning!! I did manage to download all three discs, though I only did the checksum on the 3rd one. I couldn't figure out how to do it in Win XP and I needed to burn one disc to delete the iso to free up space to download the third. I only had enough hard drive free space in XP to download two discs. I managed to do the checksum on the last one because it was saved to my fat32 music partition. I rebooted to Linux to do the checksum on it there. The ".hu" German site was awesome. That's where I got all three from.Is there a way to do the checksum of the first two that I burned?

Bruno Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 A remark about YES or NO keeping your /home:I think it is a good oportunity to clear out the mess in my /home/bruno every 6 months . . . so what I do is copy the full /home/bruno over to a backup partition . . . then at install I reformat all Mandrake partitions ( also /home ) and after the install I just copy back from the backup partition only those files I need or want to keep. If a few days later I discover I need another file out of my old /home/bruno I just go over and get it . . . . . . . This backup I keep until after 1 month I overwrite it with a backup of the new /home/bruno ( I make a backup every month )This keeps my /home tidy and neat . . and I am sure that the new install gets the best possible start :DB) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Cd's I burned in windows had the wrong checksum using this method. The one I burned in Mandrake had the right checksum. I figured it was a long shot to have two fully downloaded discs be off, so I and a coworker did a little testing.He created an ISO from the Windows created discs and ran the md5sum. They both came out good.So, why do Windows burned discs not give the right values here? The real mystery is, why are they still correct whem and ISO of the disc is made? Strange stuff.

GregI am not sure there are not different varieties floating around. I am installing right now off the CDs I received in my Power Pack yet the first CD had a different sum than anything posted here.I'm on CD 2 in my install and did not appear to have any show stoppers with CD 1 with the different sum!Go figure?
