3.1 Mandrake 8.2 Notes
- This is the first release of OSCAR to support this distribution.
OSCAR 2.0b1 has been tested and successfully installed on
this distribution (see Table 1); prior
versions of OSCAR will not work on any flavors of Mandrake without
significant modifications.
- If installing the third-party package Ganglia, the
libpng RPM version 1.0.8-2mdk must be manually installed
before invoking the OSCAR install wizard. This RPM can be
found in the Ganglia distribution package in the following location:
packages/ganglia/extras/libpng-1.0.8-2mdk.i586.rpm
- root's default shell configuration files hardcode the
value for PATH environment variable, regardless of what is
added via profile.d/ startup scripts. This effects various
OSCAR installed components, which are installed into locations such
as /opt. As such, the OSCAR installer comments out these
lines in following files:
- /root/.bashrc
- /root/.cshrc
- /root/.tcshrc
root
