Has anyone else gotten error messages from 7.1 installation similar to:
``Error installing package foo-bar-1.2.3. Continue or cancel?''
Choosing continue would let install finish. After booting system for
1st time, I could then install the problem package. On my PC at work
the ``bad'' package was one of the Mesa rpms, and at home a Zope package
didn't install. I did both installs from the same CDs which a co-worker
burned from iso images. Bad CDs maybe?

I already sent this as a bug report, but thought I'd ask here since I
haven't heard back yet:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
My tape drive worked flawlessly with Linux-Mandrake 7.0. Before
installing Linux-Mandrake 7.1, I backed up all my important data to my
HP Colorado 8GB internal IDE tape drive. After backing up the data, I
restored to a different directory to test it and had no problems. After
wiping out my 7.0 install and installing 7.1, I can't read anything from
my tape. I'm attaching the error message. I tried a different tape
with no success. One weird thing, however: I can write to tape with
7.1 (tar cvzpf /dev/ht0 <files>), I just can't read from it. I tried
/dev/MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV.ide, attempting to re-generate any possibly bad
dev entries for the tape. This also didn't help. Using the previous
version of tar (from 7.0) didn't help, nor did taper have any success
(taper also could write, but not read tape). I re-installed 7.0 and
restored all my data with no problem.

Thanks very much for any help with this.
