Question MDK 10.0 DL Edutainment


I recently downloaded MDK 10.0 Official. I can't seem to find the edutainment section (specifically) KStars. My CD1 md5sum is correct and when I look in the RPMS directory of my CD I can't seem to finde the file kdeedu*.rpm. Was this left off the CD? I also scanned RPMS2 and RPMS3 which also passed md5sum. When I go to a "non-iso" ftp site I see the kdeedu*.rpm listed...maybe this was left off the iso distribution? In the install/remove software I can't find it and kstars is not an available command for root or any other user. Any ideas much appreaciated.

It's on cd-4 which was only available to club members. You can get around that by going to this site:

http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi/

and follow the instructions for setting up a "main", "contrib" and a "plf" source for urpmi. I think all you really need is "main" for kdeedu but the others are nice to have. Once the sources are added, you will have access to all the rpms on these repositories which will be displayed in the mdk package manager. The selected packages will be automatically downloaded from the site along with any dependencies if you choose to install any of them on the remote depositories.

Thanks! That worked great. KStars is up and running. Is there an "official" list of what is on each CD? I went to the non-iso ftp sites and saw kdeedu listed under RPMS (as oppossed to RPMS2 and RPMS3) and thought that meant it should be on CD1...obviously, I was wrong!
