So, I tried to install 7.1 from my Mageia USB key, got part way through it; then ran into yet another roadblock!!!!!! In the "NETWORK & INTERNET CONFIGURATION" portion of the install.

I, for some unknown reason, got the message:
Code: Select all
Ethernet            No device can be found for this connection type.


What the heck is going on???? There is no problem with my Ethernet connection, I am connected via that as I type this!!!!!

How do I overcome this? What would cause this? I have never encountered this in all my times installing Mandrake/Mandriva/Mageia.

I am at a loss to explain it.

Why do you configure your network / internet connection during installation, when you say it's working fine, I don't get the issue ?

Any ideas?

Do you only want a list of all installed packages ?

Code: Select all
rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}\n'|sort > list_of_packages

doktor,
thanks for that. Yes that's it. I thought when you gave me the cmd a few yeas ago that I had saved it somewhere, but obviously not.

Much obliged.

Now I just have to sort out this problem of why the install can't find my Ethernet connection!

I'm going to open a new problem about the "no Ethernet on re-install" issue.
