      I was about to call it, too, but instead I'll comment on your .sig:

      One of my friends say it all the time. All. The. Fucking. Time.

      He doesn't even IM. He just plays WoW a lot. On internet cafés. He's not on any IM. He's hardly on in the only internet community he's joined, and it's in Danish.

    Not only a dupe, but it reads like somebody from Mandrake's marketing team hung it up here. That in mind, where's the steak knives I get if I ftp right now?

      Perhaps but I am not too offended by seeing a Linux distribution being shown on slashdot. I would have loved to used Mandrake in the past but their latest distros were giving me lots of problems in detecting my SATA hard drive.

      Has anyone had similiar problems, and has it been fixed with the new release?

    How come Mandrake 10.1 is shipping with software which was already outdated back in the 10.0 days? For example, gaim is at 1.1.0 but they still ship 0.8. What gives?

      copyright and probably patents my dear boy... it ships with the old version and to update it, you uninstall it and add PLF to your sources of software were all the yummy goodness that Mandrake can't put in the distro can be found.

      You don't even have to uninstall it. It's called Easy URPMI. Follow the directions, then do 'urpmi --auto-select' as root, and maybe once a week do 'urpmi.update -a' and then the auto select thing - if there's updates, it updates, if there aren't, it doesn't.

  6. Really? by allden · · Score: 1

    Try setting up networking(during instalation) with an unsupported wireless card and you will get into an infinite loop. And how about the error message it dispalys - some crappy error happened on line xx in the blah perl script which the end user is least concerned about.
    Another problem with free software like Mandrake for non club members is that they dont tell you upfornt at the begining of install that your scanner won't work because it involves a firmware which aint free software and you can find more info on some yyy site. Xsane aint good if it cant scan my documents.

  7. Indeed by bach37 · · Score: 1

    We have to add mandrake 'cooker/unstable' mirrors to get a mandrake rpm of the current gaim, or firefox. Whereas in Fedora the new release of gaim, firefox, etc are updated when you update your system, in their main mirrors- not unstable. Anyways that's my one big complaint with Mandrake.
