it is advertised by the installation script as being capable of rescuing a disabled system for those people who can't boot from CD. i actually tried to use it as a rescue diskette after an unsuccessful test of graphics-card drivers & it ground to a halt part-way thro' installing itself. 'mdir' had no problem reading its contents ( 5 typical files), so it is very unlikely that it is a bad diskette, which i haven't encountered for several years anyway. -- irritated exchanges snipped -- i'm new to this list, but experienced at list etiquette elsewhere. the whole point, i hope, is to repay Mandrake staff for their labors & Mandrake Inc for its free ISOs by offering useful feedback on problems. i echo the suggestion that the release process needs to slow down a bit. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto
