You know, I try to help out where I can with testing and bug reporting
since I am definitely not a programmer. The company I work for has been
very gracious in letting me do this on company time as a way to give
something back to the Mandrake community since Mandrake is about all we
use. I am not here to use the cooker list as a support list. In this
particular case however, the mbox file with the last 6 months of the
cooker list in it is on the machine that I can't boot. So if I could
READ the LIST I would gladly READ the LIST. I don't have a kernel panic
since I am running the multimedia kernel and I have not upgraded my
kernel lately. This is not a kernel issue.

I appreciate all of the work that you have done in helping to make
Mandrake about the best Linux distro going, but as far as tact goes, you
haven't got much. If you tell all of the people who try to help out to
go away, you won't have much of a community left. I'm not trying to
start a flame war. I just want to let you know that if you treat
volunteers like this, they're not going to stick around. People like me
who aren't the coders are the users and without our input, you don't
stand as much chance of have a distribution that people want to use.

Just my two cents, take it or leave it.
