			This procedure also worked for me with Mandriva Free as the installer allows you creation of RAID and LVM volumes for installation. Great if you may need to add storage later.

Here is a set of instructions that has worked for me to install ZoneMinder 1.23.0 on a fresh install of Mandriva One 2008 using RPMs by rdmelin.
See http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/ZMliveCD and
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/ZMliveCD_Update_RPM_notes

Use at your own risk, your mileage may vary, may cause drowsiness, keep out of reach of children, do not operate heavy machinery ...

Start by downloading and installing the 'One' (livecd) version of Mandriva 2008.0.
During set up, do NOT select 3d desktop effects. Not that it won't work, just that I didn't select it when I created this howto.

I do everything in a konsole (as root!) from this point on.

set up urpmi sources. I am using this set because it worked - feel free to go to
http://easyurpmi.zarb.org and select your own sources. I like carroll.cac.psu.edu because it's fast ;)

First, lets take out the original installation media and any you may have set up
urpmi.removemedia -a

Now lets add the new media
urpmi.addmedia --update plf-free ftp://spirit.bentel.sk/mirrors/plf/mandriva/2008.0/free/release/binary/i586/ with media_info/hdlist.cz

urpmi.addmedia main ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrivalinux/official/2008.0/i586/media/main/release with media_info/hdlist.cz

do not update yet ...

get the zm files
wget http://sentrix.homeip.net/rpms/noarch/perl-Astro-SunTime-0.01-1.noarch.rpm
wget http://sentrix.homeip.net/rpms/noarch/perl-PHP-Serialization-0.27-1.noarch.rpm
wget http://sentrix.homeip.net/rpms/mdv_2008.0/perl-Device-SerialPort-1.002-1.i586.rpm
wget http://sentrix.homeip.net/rpms/noarch/perl-X10-0.03-1.noarch.rpm
wget http://sentrix.homeip.net/rpms/mdv_2008.0/zm-1.23.1-3mdv2008.0.i586.rpm

install the rpms -
urpmi perl-Astro-SunTime-0.01-1.noarch.rpm
urpmi perl-Device-SerialPort-1.002-1.i586.rpm
urpmi perl-PHP-Serialization-0.27-1.noarch.rpm
urpmi perl-X10-0.03-1.noarch.rpm
urpmi mysql
urpmi zm-1.23.1-3mdv2008.0.i586.rpm

If any of the packages give you choices of dependencies, usually you will choose the first of the list.

We need a text editor. There are several that come with the distro, but I like kate, so I install it
urpmi kate

Edit /etc/zm.conf to add mysql user and password
kate /etc/zm.conf
(set the user and password to whatever ails you ...)

Kate may spit up a bunch of warnings or errors - don't let 'em bug you ... on my system, this only happens the first time when I run kate from the command line. I have no clue what's happening or if it's an issue, but the file saves fine and everything goes as planned so I ignore them.

start mysql and apache
service mysqld start
service httpd start

Initialize the ZM database
/usr/lib/zm/bin/zminit
enter your mysql user and password - the default is root and [blank]
(change this for live systems!)

Start zm the first time
service zm start

Open a browser, go to http://127.0.0.1/zm
and log in as
admin / admin

Now play with your system ;)
