This comes up a lot, so there should be plenty of references in the mail list archives about it. It should also be somewhere on the Mandrake Forum or Mandrakeusr.org sites, or found through www.google.com/linux. You need to install the current versions of libc-5.3.12-35mdk.i586.rpm and ld.so-1.9.11-4mdk.i586.rpm from cooker contribs for WP8 to run. -- Hoyt http://www.maximumhoyt.com
