Mandrake 9.0

Mace · 01-15-03, 08:56 PM

Ok, I am in the process of download Mandrake 9.0 and I am wondering if I need to get the 3rd disk. What is really on that disk?

ronin1967 · 01-15-03, 09:40 PM

I hve done the full install with only disk 1 & 2, not sure what is on the 3rd disk

ColtIce · 01-15-03, 09:42 PM

if you install software later you might.when i installed wine it asked for disk 3

Mace · 01-15-03, 10:13 PM

Ok, then I might as well get the 3rd disk. I might try using wine.

3rd disk is just basically an archive of a bunch of programs that aren't needed for normal install.

filip04 · 01-16-03, 05:09 AM

3rd disk is source code ONLY

you can do full install without the 3rd disk

in fact, if you download ONLY the first disk , you are still ok

linux integrates the internet really well... you can get everything off the internet... once you install, make sure you swithc over everything to the internet, or you'll have to put in a cd everytime you try to install something (if you don't do the full install)

The first two have most of the goods. Better grab 'em while you can.

I'm going to. I'm staring at the download page for mandrake right now, just waiting for debian to finish.

You can install the entire OS from just the first CD, hence the beauty of Linux. You can have an entire OS with very few resources and a small amount of space used!

The two other cd's are for every extra add-on you install. The 3rd disk is especially for documentation, extra GUI's, and Server capabilities.

or install from cd1, and download the rest of the updates/extras through linux.

I just got MD9.0, and I was wondering...what does Wine do?

Titan386 · 01-29-03, 09:35 PM

Its a windows emulator for linux (technically, its a windows API compatibilty layer for linux). You can get more info at www.winehq.com

I've used just CD1 and CD2 which worked great.

For WINE, the best thing to do is to download the latest version instead of off the CD.
