ok i repost this e-mail since the first one didn't seem to reach the e-mail
list
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just tried to install the download version on a system containing the
following.
Microstar K7TTurbo2 Socket A Motherboard (Microstar)
Duron 1200 Mhz CPU
13 GB Western Digital Harddrive
48 X CDRom
128 MB PC-133.
Now to my conclution.
1. Installation too less then 20 Minutes. Then boot into KDE (from
pressing the powerswitch, bios detection
Mandrake loader 7 second countdown till KDE is up and running fully
loaded. 1 Minute and 40 seconds.
This is not bad at all.
2. After installation i plugged in a test USB to Ethernet adapter
manufactured by AMDtek,
ran the "connect to the internet" program, The program found the USB
to Ethernet adapter
and configured it to work correctly. I really did doubt it would
work. But it does. Great work.
3. Openoffice is still alittle slow to open, 35-40 seconds first time
(since it has to load the configuration software),
15-17 seconds after that (after a cold boot). But i guess i can't
complain, its still awhole lot faster then on my
old k62-300.
4. Sound works out of the box. Great.
So far i'm impressed.
Keep up the good work.
