figure out the rpm options that generate it.
Also, how does MandrakeUpdate figure out all the dependency requirements?
Any information is appreciated.

The Wavelan (Orinoco) cards work fine with the latest releases of
Mandrake. The pcmcia package contains drivers for the cards, so you don't
have to compile anything.
There are several brands of wireless cards, but many of them are just OEM
versions of the Wavelan stuff and use the same
Instead of using wu-ftpd, I'd recommend installing proftpd. It's more
secure, easier to configure, and is more flexible.
I think you can find an RPM on the Cooker site.

The pre-built dpt_i2o.o module provided by DPT for RedHat won't work with

You will have to patch the kernel and compile and install your own

Does anyone know which kernel version they use?
Is it 2.2.15 (which requires an update to 2.2.16)? Or did they make it
more useful and include the updates?

I'll bet your PhD is not in Economics...
There's no such thing as a free lunch. All the supposedly "free" services
have some kind of strings attached. Someone has to pay for the bandwidth,
equipment, and maintenance. They usually do this by selling advertising of

I believe that you're talking about ext3, which is ext2 with journaling
added. AFAIK it is not yet included with Mandrake.
ReiserFS is a completely new filesystem with an underlying structure that
is similar to a database. Unlike most Unix/Linux filesystems, ReiserFS
does not use inodes. I

A good journaling filesystem, like ReiserFS or some of the others that are
