Fresh 9.2 install on a fresh harddrive. Everything went smooth and the machine rebooted and worked fine. Started Mandrake update and it downloaded/installed a couple of files successfully. After reboot almost the whole menu tree is empty and all application launcher items on the Kicker panel dissapeared. Ran update-menus and that brought back most (if not all) menu entries, but it didn't bring back any of the kicker application shortcuts. Had to start adding them manually again. Now I am almost afraid after reading some similar comments to install any new software or updates.
