( i don't like them but i had to use it from time to time) so, what was i impressed from ( and i think could be really good addition for newbies) hardware detection: i swaped the hard drive(with installed SuSE 8.2) from one PC to another PC, i then adjusted fstab (from rescue CD) , and rebooted on the second PC. on boot in console mode i had to adjust only the XFree configuration, all the other hardware was "found" and configured, after i logged in X. I think this "feature" is quite nice for newbies, compared to the way it's done in Mandrake -- all hardware is configured under console at boot. i might be wrong, but in console mode some of the features of drakxtools are missing, so if the "hardware detection" is delayed until log on, this could be also a plus. svetljo PS. how is this related to the above message :-) : well if it's really possible to ship mandrake on hard drives, this could make things easier for newbies. -- NEU FÜR ALLE - GMX MediaCenter - für Fotos, Musik, Dateien...
