Re: [LUG] Mandrake 10.1 Install

 

Mandrake just does this for no apparent reason, it's one of mdk's many
flaws which ensure I continue to use Gentoo.

Hi All,

After the shenanigans yesterday, I booted the system today.  X loaded, I
entered my uid and pwd and the system sat with a mouse icon (standard
not the busy icon) and refused to budge.  So I burned the images I had
of MDK 10.1 (as I've been planning on an upgrade anyway).  2 hours later
the install finished and then I found that for reasons that maybe one of
you would please explain, eth0 was setup as my firewire card and my
onboard Ethernet NIC wasn't set-up at all.  So I set it up as eth1.
Still no connection.  So I removed both network connections and setup
the ethernet NIC alone.  Now it works.

Any idea why it decided to make the 1394 card eth0 and ignore the
onboard NIC would be appreciated ;)

Kind regards,

Julian
