Thanks for your help drama and cowboy.
I have previously installed Ultimate 1.4, 1.7, KDE4 and 1.8 and didn't have this problem before? Could it have been a bad download or burn where something got dropped? Just wondering?

To drama and cowboy,
I tried to use Ultamatix and it installed everything but wine. An alarm error came up and said:
FATAL ERROR: Wine
an apt-based error occurred and installation was unsuccessful.
Could this help with diagnosis?

hey cowboy,
Ive been trying to find the answer but nothing yet. I burned another dvd but with the same result. I tried all of drama's suggestions with no cure. Thanks for getting back to me. This is still a kick-ass distro...just a bump in the road. Ha ha. I have a side question you might be able help me with..(i hope i don't get tarred and feathered for this)...ha ha. I like TheeMahn's KDE4 but it needs work, how do I proceed? I put it on an old hard drive to try. Thanks guy!
Bob

I must correct myself...it is running good..just want to update to the latest KDE4.1 and in the future. I mean no disrespect TheeMahn!!

I am also having problems just installing 1.9.....
I'm getting....

"apt configuration problem"

"An attempt to configure apt to
install additional packages from the
CD failed"


Anyone else have this, or does anyone have any suggestions what the problem is?.....maybe a bad download/burn ????

Well it diffently is not a bad burn on my end or bad download..run what drama said to run earlier in this thread, as far as running wine, that is the only program that has given me a prob..have 1.9 32 bit on two computers..seems so far to run ok..will be still working on this..my 1.9 64 bit install is a screamer.. ;)

Thanks for the reply, cowboy. I continued on with the installation and it "seemed" to go ok, but I do also have the "wine" problem that others are having. This is "really weired!!!!". I "may" just drop back to 1.8 for a while because I "need" a couple of progies that I was running successfully under 1.8 and Wine. But I would LOVE to continue on with 1.9.....

OK..just did another "fresh" install, and then did the "upgrade" and watched carefully as the install proceeded, and it did have a screen that said it was "downloading wine", then "installing wine", then "downloading wine dependencies", and then "installing wine dependencies".....but when the install completed, there is no ".wine" directory that I can find??? Is it putting it in some "wiered" place????

I had the same problem where it was wanting to do the partial install. I googled libaudacious4 (file it wasn't installing) and downloaded it and installed it and did the update again and it worked perfect.

In the past I have included wine... seems to now be broken(bin format error no connection to /proc), I figured ultamatix would handle this task, perhaps I stand corrected and is 100% my fault if this is the case.

I bow down humbly and say I am sorry,
