You mean 71b3? It doesnt work here, it doesnt work on my brothers machine, both are
Abit BP6 mainboards... The 2.2.15 kernel from kernel org patch with 2.2.15-ide just
freeze, when trying to access the cdrom, it isnt mdks fault...

No, it isnt, The Promise Controller is an IDE-Harware-RAID...

As default, ok, how about a list with buttons, i want this and this but not that one?

im sure, automated will not fit my needs, how much of Space is it, btw (normal
installation) :-)

just a little bit:-) but w2k + office is <899mb, on my server based setup there isnt
an office application. in my opinion all linux distries are oversized at the moment, i
can install debian server based in less then 150mb, with full functionality. all
servers i have installed are most pentiumI 100-233mhz, most of them have hds <=1gb...

if rpm-drake says: uberfluessig=?, schrott=garbage, dont install by default (sorry for
the german words)

i think its a vision from my own, but if both things would happen, anyone could
select, using win or linux, beeing doc compatible would help linux very very much to
get into firms and accepted everywere...
btw:
how about a stable netscape, would be nice!
