Do you want to continue installation?"
If I click yes, it tells me that the installation failed. Can someone tell me where to get all the files I need to install packages and other software?? I burned my cds myself, and when mandy installed it didnt install a lot of softwar.
And yes I already downloaded and installed all the updates.
Where are you getting your packages from? CD? Or an fp site? If a site, you should update the source just before you choose to install something as Mandrake is full of new stuff all the time. I have noticed that error when I have a different list stored on my machine than is on the server. If that doesn't work, pick another server for updates. That sometimes works too.
Hey I'm getting the same problem. I'm attempting to install the kernel source from my mandrake cd, but I'm getting that the packages have bad signatures. I am not connected to the internet so I have to install them from the CD.
I'm attempting to install the kernel source so that I can install ndiswrapper, so that I can install drivers for my wireless network card.
Anyone know how to FIX this problem so that I can install these packages from the cd?
