The rpm however did work. That said, when I booted into 2. One more thing, I know some distros turn on a bunch of services by default, but this was ridiculous! Easy to turn off, but again, for a newb, not good. Most operating systems are thank God still quite significant configurable. A good desktop system is the one that enables you to work with it in a very short period of time.
Some distributions are coming very close to the ideal situation,well with my hardware scenario. Any server apps you install will be turned on by default. The default package selection hardly installs any, so the service count is fairly small.
You got the 2. This is silly. Could you try running it from a console and see if you get any useful error output, or something? Did you configure your network card before or after your modem? You need kernel-source-stripped X kernel series. The vanilla 2. One can access or not the drive. The speed is controlled elsewhere. Thanks for the tips, however to clarify a few issues.
As to the modem thing, during install it would fail when trying to configure the modem gave off some perl error , the nic would configure, and thus was set to be the gateway dev. Again though, using kppp I was able to configure it just fine. As to what tobaccofarm mentioned, no, I was definately running Reason for trying it with 2. I believe what I did to circumvent that was to do a chgrp on the 2 devs to belong to cdrom, and added myself to that group, and a chmod on them or something like that.
I should add that, on services, the MDK installer is very clear and up-front — it goes out of its way to tell you that any servers you install will be turned on by default, and that this can theoretically present a security risk, and it tells you how to turn them off. During the install of Mandrake If you set the security level to paranoid, the result will be much fewer services turned on as default,allthough even then portmap deamon is turned on but simpel to shut down.

Maybe just for members though. Anecdotes means nothing. Install works fine, i can't get X to work and get the command line interface. What do I have to change in the config file? Browse Community.

Try 16 weeks, more exactly July 19 Pleas get your facts correct, you are doing nothing but FUDing. X was configured. Instead of whining about the package versions included it would perhaps be more wise to let common sence prevail and judge a distribution more on how it performs the tasks you think is necesary then what it looks like when it runs.
I gave up on this distro in the server room after I installed it as a file server and it kept randomly crashing. I gave up on it as a workstation distro, when RedHat and everyone else ran circles around it and they added advertising to the free version.
You ought to be using Windows. And yes Mandrake have had some problems but if you crawl the net and newbie forums for other distros you sadly get most of the same. Understandably less noise from newbies on fedora, as fewer newbies installs it. I have great respect for mandrake and their product. I have always purchased the Offical PowerPack releases since version 8. You are right. Since all problems in windows usually are fixed by a reinstall.
MDK Including either would be a lunacy and a mockery of sensible release practices. An unofficial KDE 3. I hope you see the problem too, people. I think you are referring to the problem with FC2 and some other distros, springing from the different way the 2. It is designed to work with kde 3. Our question is why? What is your justification for referring to this timeframe as if it were the entire testing phase of Basic installation, just changed a few desktop elements to suit my taste.
