Bruno Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Hi ColinFor the updates: . . just open the MCC . . . Software . . . Media Manager and click on the "add" button then tick the box "security updates" ( last one on the right ) . . . . Then paste this in the URL box: ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandrake/official/updates/10.0/RPMS The tick the box "Relative Path to synthesis/hdlist" and paste this in that box: ../base/hdlist.cz Then click OK and wait for the process to finish . . . . and press OK on the large window . . . this will bring you back to the 4 icons of the software management . . . Now press the "Updates" icon and when asked press "YES" to get the list . . . then tick a 3 boxes: "security" "bugfixes" and "normal updates" . . . . install them all.

Bruno Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Did you manage to add the source ?? Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted November 29, 2004 Author Share Posted November 29, 2004 Hi BrunoSorry about the delayYES I added the source BUT :"> was not very clear in my last emailI am in KDE BUT I STILL got the message--->>>Got a message when configuring LAN--->>>Insmodling module focedeth at /usr/binperl-install/modules-pm line 477And don't know if it needs anything to do to itBut we are :'( UP and running againCheers for YearsColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 When I get a message like that it usually means there is an enter in the code where it should all be on one line. I suspect that if you could find line 477 you would find that is probably the case. I think editing the cod ewith that many lines might be a bit much. You could try removing and reinstalling that particular file. That is a tough call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted November 30, 2004 Author Share Posted November 30, 2004 JuliaThank you :"> I think I will let WELL alone for now.And now it is probably time to see what 2nd Distro to put onI tried PClos preview 5 a few days ago without success.So maybe will look at other options such as Mepis if I can find their correct download site.And then thanks to your advice I left the final 25g free on my hard drive and got MDK 10 installed :'( Then after that is done will be the rescue Cd's to burn.Thank youColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
