It works. Stew and I spent a fair amount of time on drakbug to make it work with Anthill... see bug #1. That is a test from me using drakbug (slightly mangled /etc/mandrake-release) to report against Corporate 2.1. And yes, bugs on Anthill will be treated very harshly. Support requests will be killed immediately and referred to MandrakeExpert. Cooker bugs will be nixed immediately and referred to Bugzilla. Valid reports will be evaluated and essential fixes will be put into updates. Things deemed insignificant will likely be closed (this is more of a means to report really nasty bugs for fixing... not little things like fonts in gkrellm). -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ Online Security Resource Book; http://linsec.ca/ "lynx -source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD : 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
