i just *hope* diskdrake is compatable with teh new winxp partition
formating schematic. or else, allot of winxp users trying a dualboot
system and use diskdrake to edit the winxp partition will corrupt the
winxp partition (effectivily killing thier winxp partition). i've found
resizing the fat32/ntfs winxp root partition with partition magic <=5.x
would kill winxp partitions.  fixed in partition magic =>6.0.

i don't even know if diskdrake doesn anything that might be destructive
to the winxp partition.

This is an excellent idea! when i specified Developement type of install
on 8.x, i found that the installer didn't install all the -devels. as
such, when building srpm's, i had to hunt down the -devels (without
doing a rpm -Uvh --force *-devel, since stuff like kde i don't install).

I had to hunt down each cdrom of the 3 cdrom set to find the correct
rpm.  Maybe a similar (complete listing)  html format or text/ascii
listing should also be included on all 3 cdroms for users to easily find
out what's on which cdrom?  *this could be easily done*

i pretty much use rpmfind.net to find out other deps and rpm -qi info.
