need Help with everything total newb
Ok I Just spent 3 days trying to download linux Mandrake and run it. Finaly i got the installer to run, so everything is going to get easy.... WRONG :eek: . I run it and nothing is anything like windows, not that thats bad its just I dont know what to do with out a programs menu. Also when i try to download stuff it comes up as a list or when I click on it, it brings up KDE CRASH HANDLER.... What is this? so I cant install the programs I want like Wine and Lime. Wine wants something called Xmessage? But I did get this (and very happy to get it) Gaim. So I was wondering if there is anyone out there would would be nice enough to add my to their msn or aim to help me, or post.
My Msn is Eye_Seven@hotmail.com and my aim is AimEyeSeven Thank you very much :newbie: |

Just keep on exploring, try and not mess it up, and you will do fine.

hi
mandrakeforum.org and mandrake.com/docs should help you for a start tldp.org has general documentation. you should read the introduction to linux guide first. If you are expecting it to be like windows you are in for a disappointment. Mandrake tries to reduce the learning curve. If you using the system to learn give it more time. try using urpmi from the command line for installing rpm rpm -ivh package.rpm post back specific doubts if you any(sure you do) regards rahul sundaram |
Also, be more specific about the "stuff" you're trying to d/l and install. Installation procedures vary depending on the type of file (.bin, .rpm, .tar.gz, etc.) that you've got.
