Hi,
>From AJ's announcement:
> The distribution comes with 5 CDs. You need:
> * CD1 only for a minimal text installation (English)
> * CDs 1-3 for a default KDE or GNOME installation in German or English
> * All CDs for other selections
I just did an i386 minimal text install, it took approx 450 MB from CD1,
but also required about 3 packages from CD2. Should I file a bug report?
Thanks,
Chad
Seems like makeSUSEdvd is broken in combination with beta9. The md5sums of
the iso's are okey. When I wanted to install it reported that it could not
found the packages. So I makeSUSEdvd-ed again and tried with y2pmsh.
That one reports this:
source -a /setup/beta9repo
failed to detect sources on file:/setup/beta9repo
ERROR(InstSrc:E_cache_dir_create)

I tried 3 times today on two mirrors, mirrors.kernel.org, &
ftp.cise.ufl.edu. Each time it failed with: "Cannot read package data
from installation media. Media error?" This looks rather like the other
thread today about "makeSUSEdvd broken for beta9".

I try to install my extremely lowend laptop :-).
from cd, no luck, extremely slow.
I could copy the cd (beta 8) on the hard drive and boot from
there, with an acceptable speed.
I choose minimal text install;
problems:
a manual install was required.
*first for a dependency problem. libX11.so.6 asks for "NX".
Accepting this gives tyhe go. why is this not done
automatically, I don't know.
*second, worst, the time was wrong. I have until now (more
than one hour work) unable to pass this.
the date is said "le temps est passé" (I think this is "the
time is past due". This mean nothing on a computer not net
connected (so where does it know the time?).
worts there is absolutely no way to change the given time.
going to the time menu allows changing the time, but the
chage is not transmitted to the previous screen. when coming
again in the install, the time is still the same.
I even could change the computer date (on an other console),
but not passing the install screen
so the install was refused by yast...

I've been running Mandriva devel (Cooker) for several years. Last week I
installed factory from ftp. Now I want to update. This was a simple 2
step process in Cooker: 1-urpmi-update -a; 2-urpmi --auto-select. The
options in YaST Control Center don't seem to have an equivalent, and
looking on http://en.opensuse.org/ doesn't seem to be getting me
anywhere. Can someone please point me to instructions for how this is
done in factory?

Sorry, I wasn't root. Now y2pmsh does work. Will do another install-try.
ps. Why can you start y2pmsh when you are no root? You can start it but you
cannot use it, so why not a root-check?

Hi,
I just browsed the SL-OSS-factory tree at "suse/i586". There are OpenOffice
templates and a quickstarter, but I failed to find the packages with the program.
I wanted to know whether 2.0.2 will be part of 10.1. Yesterday I found out that
10.0 still has a "pre-2" version, which is not wat I really want.
Regards,
Ulrich
OSS 10.1 beta 8
Trying to compile km_ndiswrapper-1.2-2.i586.rpm from 10.0 and am getting
errors. Since I cannot connect my laptop I am NOT going to copy a 120
colume X 25 row error message here. One small part states:
halt passed 1 argument, but takes just 0
then the errors start and the compilation craps out.
Any suggestions short of sacrificing my first born?
And yes I do need ndiswrapper because it is the only way to use my
wireless card and no I -AM NOT- going to buy a different card so don't
suggest it.

still on this very low end machine (only 76Mo ram), I got a
time error (I don't really understand why). I didn't change
anything to the time :-(.
this took 2 hours to correct and got a hard crash. after 16
hours of install :-(.
I wont fill bug reports for such things. This computer runs
well with 10.0.
I only try to find a way to make a very straightforward
install on low end machine, kind of machines that runs quite
well and are nearly free nowaday.
this one could be very handy as a personal gateway (it's a
mini laptop).
what make me upset is that the machine runs linux very well,
it's only an install problem
this mail only for reporting a situation, not at all as a
complain :-). If I find a way, I'll report it :-)
