where are the server wizards etc ?


I am a newbie and have installed Mandrake 9.1
trying to setup samba... didnt install any server items on initial install but installed Samba afterwords from drake config program I see in the manual that I should have servers config as an option in the drake config program list but it is not there... only the normal stuff like boot config and hardware config etc.
Where the heck is it ? why is it not visible
I read that there was wizdarke or was it drakewiz that needed to be installed... searched the rpm install program section and it is not mentioned in there yet it is definitley in the manual as a necessary item to have installed...... this is driving me nuts.

Samba is in the list of running programs after bootup so i know it is installed ok so I assume that the server config items should be visiable. Anyone got any ideas on why this is and i dont seem to be able to install the server wizards...?

should i do a reinstall and choose all the servers at install time or something similar ?
also as this is a duel boot pc (win winxp) setup on the other partition is there anyway to remove mandrake completely without stuffing up windows ? and no i didnt make a mbr copy before installing mandrake.
I was thinking maybe I should try redhat instead as I seem to be getting nowhere with the networking side of things with mandrake (trying to hook to a winxp server box for internet access which is working ok but cant see either pc for files at the moment)

cheers

Can you not find what you need to install in the Mandrake Control Center, software install section?

Try commanding this as root:

urpmi <what you want to install>

# Mandrake links
Mandrake home page
Mandrake Users website
Easy urpmi config for Mandrake
urpmi mini-HOWTO
Easy software management: Red Carpet
Maximum RPM
rpmfind
You didn't install the developmental packages? As root, command:
urpmi gcc
An Introduction to the Midnight Commander. You can install it by commanding:
urpmi mc
Midnight Commander home page
