For those who think that 9.2 was in a fit state to be released and 
that those who have criticised were over-reacting - have a look at 
Linux Format's Help forum. It is being swamped with installation 
support requests for 9.2. It is _very_ bad news for linux (and 
Mandrake) that the latest release of the distro that has the best 
reputation for being user-friendly is going to leave so many people 
stranded or even damaged at install time. We are already seeing 
sweeping generalisations along the lines of "linux isn't ready for 
primetime", because people assume Mandrake = linux. This sort of 
damage to reputations could take years to undo.

I think that the person(s) that changed the kernel in a To BE RELEASED 
FOR PAY version and caused this bug should have his/their wine allowance 
cut to 1/10.
