The complaints are not all valid. Note that he changed from apm to acpi by editing lilo.conf, and then wonders why acpid is not set to start at boot, instead of using drakboot (or even enabled it during installation), which does everything correctly. I am not sure what he is saying about LVM, but it isn't difficult to get LVM setup during installation: http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/screenshots/mandrake-9.1-lvm.png http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/screenshots/mandrake-9.1-lvm2.png The only valid point he has regarding LVM is that LVM isn't started up in the rescue image for 9.1. He also does not give any information on *which* touchpad driver he is looking for. There are huge differences between Thinkpad models, so without the information, it is impossible to know how to fix it. I am also not familiar with bluetooth, but AFAIK the drivers were availabe, and the applications are in contrib? There are some PCMCIA cards which aren't recognised, but I think they are in the latest cooker kernels (but there are some other fixes missing which prevent some people from using them). According to the thinkpad list, there is a driver in development for the T40's wireless card, but there are still issues with it, and it has only been functional for about a month. Definitely not a Mandrake-specific complaint. His last complaint about /sbin/installkernel on first kernel update not leaving a boot option for the original kernel is valid, and really needs a fix!!!! > Maybe this helps somehow someone as constructive critic. Not terribly constructive, and very one-sided, but my german isn't that good.
