Readers, A little history: previously a mandrake and suse user,just tried mageia that failed and now want to try a different system! Version 20140301dual was downloaded as an iso file then burnt onto a CD. (This was a reason to try: other distributions are getting too big, beyond the typical cd capacity). The (old) pc file structure is inherited from mandriva, with separate mount points for m$, /home /swap /boot /. Tried the command: pacman /mnt base error response, that database files are non-existent for core, extra, community. What to do please?
