This is kind of a QED to my last post. Hitting the gap between to verbose and 
too plain is not easy, particularly if you haven't been told what the gap 
actually _is_. Are there data which are universally required? What are they?

Exact install name? cat /etc/mandrake-release

What else?

Devices, lspcidrake -v and lsmod - plus the full name of the device - are 
obvious (to me, maybe not to a newbie), are there any less obvious 
necessities?

Cheers; Leon
