Cron.hourly in 5 minutes, cron.daily in 10 minutes, cron.weekly in 15
minutes.  'rpm -e anacron' will take care of that little annoyance.

But that still doesn't take care of your original complaint:  You want
Mandrake to come out of the box harder to use and require more manual
configuration.  I honestly don't know what to say to that because
Windows users tell me that it's already hard enough to use.
