Did an upgrade from b3, everything during the installation was fine (apart
from having to force nodma - see an earlier posting to the list by me for
details)
kde seems to be ok (dcop is happy :)
the smp kernel seems to have problems with my webcam (it's a philips webcam)
- all is well in the uniprocessor kernel

drakconf looks like it's shaping up well, but clicking on add/remove software
for rpmdrake spits out an error and drakconf dies
[root@sn693 root]# drakconf
modprobe: Can't locate module floppy

I'm also having problems installing the nvidia drivers... I know it's nothing
to do the mandrake, but I doubt I'm the only one with an nvidia card ;)
I've tried installing from src.rpm (with --rebuild) & tar-balls - each time
it says the installation went fine, but after editing XF86Config-4 and
restarting X, my machine appears to hang (there's some HD activity, but X
won't restart and I can't get to a console) Has anyone else had any luck? The
drivers that ship are ok but they've got timing issues with my monitor whilst
the nvidia drivers have always been great
thanks to the plf, xine's working great btw :)
