Combining Linuxses with Mandrivia 10.3 (2005LE)

Post by axe346 »

Only for Madrivia 10.3 might work with others

Install 10.3 as normal, still on cd1 before installation , at add other Media say cd, insert the other Linux(ses) Cds , insert cd 1 (10.3) and repeat for all cds /dvds. After installation of 10.3 go to Media Manager or water it is called in the current gui (look around at installation of other media)
add a custom cd , Now start adding removable links to media manager and link it to where the rpm`s are on the cd (run search *.rpm) repeat for all folders found and all cd`s. Don`t mind the errors of unable to copy media.

Run the rpm of what you wantto install from the appropiate cd/dvd

This is the best way I found so far beacuse it checks for depandencies and possible classes. You can also upgrade a rpm set in this way if you
which.

Working with Mandrake 9.3 + 10.3 , Fedora Core and Suse from whitin Suse Core.

Started with 9.3 as a thank you from a local computer store about 9 month ago , uses it for cross OS development(Windows and Linux), I don`t like it , I love it :onfire: .[/b]
