When you begin installing Mandrake Linux 10.1, the installer will ask you to specify which installation CDs are available. Make sure CDs 1, 2, and 3 are checked, and CD 4 is unchecked. Installation should then complete normally. If you leave CD 4 checked, the installer will attempt to install KDE packages that are not available, and will yield error messages similar to “perl: ./rpmio_internal.h:497: c2f: Assertion `fd && fd->magic == 0x04463138′ failed”.
