To get to Harddrake:
MCC is the Mandriva Linux Control Center (
System > Configuration > Configure your computer in the file system).
Open MCC. The root password will be required.
Select
Mount Points in the category list (left).
Open the
Create, delete and resize hard disk partitions icon (main pain). You have accessed harddrake.
To get to the Mandriva Package Manager:
The Mandriva Package Manager can be accessed in MCC or from the menu system (
System > Configuration > Packaging > Install, Remove, and Update Software in the menu system).
Open MCC. The root password will be required.
Select
Software Management in the category list (left - usually preselected when MCC loads).
The four Software Management functions can be accessed from this screen - Install, Remove, or Update Software and you can Manage your Software Media Sources (Repositories).
If you are new to Mandriva Linux, you have probably not set up a full set of Internet Software Media Sources for use by the Mandriva Package Manager. The full range of software packaged for use with Mandriva Linux is too large to fit on a DVD, so Mandriva has set up ftp mirrors across the WEB. Each mirror contains the full set of Software Repositories (the Internet Software Media Sources). You must configure the Mandriva Package Manager to use these Sources. It is not a difficult thing to do. I have written an article on my
LQ Blog to help others complete this task.
To get to the Mandriva Documentation:
If you have installed the Mandriva Documentation packages, you will find the documentation under
More Applications > Documentation in the menu system.
