2nd and 3rd CD of Mandrake

DallasStar · Oct 14, 2002, 05:05 AM

I'm downloading the 1st Mandrake CD right now w/ 56k and am just wondering.... what's on the 2nd and 3rd CD? and.... will I be able to install that stuff later on if I decide to just do an install with the first CD right now? I don't feel like investing so much time to potentially be disappointed.

I believe you need all 3cd's.

Nope.
You need just first CD, other CDs have just extras.

Well, since you know about Mandrake, do you know if the second/third CDs can be installed at a later time? And what kind of "extras" are in them?

Not sure about later installation, but extras - programs, some simple games...

Yes they can.

You can install them via RPM or GUI RPM tool.

Yeah, I'm using mandrake9 now. The 2nd and third cd's just have tons of extra rpm's on them. Make sure to tell it at install that you only have the first cd.
