Could this have anything to do with my USparc not keeping time when it's turned
off? Whe I power up in the morning it still has the same time that had the
night before.
I may be off base here, because I generally don't read the regular cooker
postings, my mail filter grabs only the ones that have sparc somewhere in them
as the rest are more of a 7.2 beta rather than the 7.1 beta that is for the
sparc.
On this note, is any development happening on the sparc port? I have seen very
few postings and absolutely nothing in the sparc updates folder on any of the
mirrors. I like the port a lot - I use it far more than my Athlon which also
runs LM, but if development on it is dead then I might have to look at other
alternatives in the future. But, I WOULD RATHER STAY WITH MANDRAKE!!!
Would it be possible to have a sparc progress page on the Mandrake site so
that users could see what's going on? It gets rather tiresome to see all the
traffic in the cooker mailing list on the x86 version and never hear anything
about the sparc port - which was why I got on the mailing list in the first
place.
Hope to hear something on this from someone in the know at LM.
