I you know the exact names of the additionnal packages you want to reinstall, just type them one after another. For exemple, in order to install k9copy and opera : sudo pisi it k9cpoy opera you can also wrap this into a bash script like this one below to add some easyness to the process. #! /bin/bash
## VARIABLES ##
PACKAGES='k9copy opera'
WARNING='You must be root to run this script.'
RED='\033[0;31m'
## FUNCTION ##
check_user()
{
if [ "$UID" != 0 ];
then echo -e " \n $RED $WARNING \n";
exit 1;
fi
}
## MAIN PROGRAM ##
check_user()
pisi it $PACKAGES && echo -e "The following packages have been installed :\n$PACKAGES \n"
exit 0 Save it as "reinstall.sh" for example, make it executable ( chmod +x reinstall.sh) and run it through a terminal. |

After having so much trouble with 2008 Beta , I decided to DL and install the new 2008.RC1 on distrowatch today. I burned and installed it. Looked real good! Then I went to setup my ADSL connection. I used Terminal SUPER USER MODE and typed: adsl-setup. A message popped up stating that rc.pppoe was not installed and I could install it with the Package Manager. The question is; How can you install rc.pppoe when you don't have an Internet connection and require the rc.pppoe to make an internet connection. VERY VERY FUNNY Guys. ahahahahahaha Another great beta 2008 release but not for those who have ADSL! ahahahahahaha
Instead of being painfully sarcastic, you could help by writing a bug report, don't you think ? As any free software project, Pardus is about constructive cooperation, rather than consumer whining. Everyone can be helpful. |

Yes, I am using 2008 RC1 but I don't see how magic errors from the 2 listed Pardus mirrors has anything to due with this version. Why would anyone release a beta version that cannot install programs or upgrade existing programs. Known bugs with 2008 rc1 was language. It is claimed to be a pretty stabe version otherwise. I tried to install and upgrade but comtinue to get a kernel upgrade key error from the server. I have posted this error and since yesterday this issue hasn't been resolved. Time is money for me and I have enough projects toI work on without having needs for problems with a distro that I cannot use. I still believe it will be a great distro in time but the team has their work cut out for them. I don't like having to open a window everytime I log on to start my adsl. Many distro have a adsl wizard that sets up adsl easy on boot, PCLinux, Fedora, Sidux etc. Some distros put a text file on the desktop explaining how to setup the interent connection. I dislike having to reboot into another distro to look up how to setup ADSL. Then cannot find an answer in the forms. ahahahaha What good is a distro when you have problems connecting to the internet. I wasted 2 hours getting ADSL setup. Not good! I found out I had to use SUPER USER MODE for the ADSL setup. What's with this?
Anyway, when the finial release comes out for 2008 I may try it again, maybe not. I went to the Dutch mirror to check on upgrades and it gave 448 megs of upgrades. What is this! ahahahaha
Anyway, I do appreciate the help by the fourm team.

I think all the problems you encountered are due to the fact that you used a beta version. ADSL and network settings on Pardus are the easiest of all distros I've tried. Far easier than Kubuntu who recently declared it may shift to Pardus tools instead of the KDE ones. If you try Ubunut beta or Mandriva beta, etc., you will have similar blocking problems. Even when beta testers say that the beta version is bugfree, you should never use the beta on production machines. Beta is for debugging only, whatever distro it is. |

It should be better with " nv" instead of " vesa" in your xorg.conf file. You will get full 2D and a minimal 3D. To have full 3D support, with " nvidia" in xorg.conf, you have to install the following packages : - nvidia-glx-new
- nvidia-kernel-new

Download the tarball (songbird.tar.gz) on the download page, extract it in your home folder, double-click on songbird or type ./songbird in a terminal (F4), in the songbird folder.
There is no installation per se.

I don't think it is a good idea to put the end-user in front of choices he doesn't understand nor need : webserver, dns, etc.
And as far as the power user is concerned, he already knows how to set up a server, so he doesn't need this.
The choice between laptop and desktop installation is much more relevant, because no one needs laptop-specific packages (wifi, hibernation) on his desktop computer.

I'm glad to see everything is back to normal. It seems computers sometimes uses black magic  For your information, DNS stands for "Domain Name Server". It's the server that links IP adresses (72.14.211.102 for example) to URL ( www.google.com in my example). Your internet service provider must have given internet parameters for you to configure your connection. DNS is one of this parameter. For example, 208.67.222.222 is the address of a DNS. Name service configuration is done the Network Manager of Sytem Settings (Tasma). |
