First, I was asking Warly a legitmate question. I, and many others that I know 
would like a little solid info about 9.0's release other than it was supposed 
to be out on the 13th.

Second, I see NONE of the problems that a select few have been seeing in the 
distro (and yes I have a PS/2 mouse that works, a USB keyboard and a AWE 64 
SB.) In fact, I've been testing it on over six machines with WIDELY different 
hardware configurations. To hold off on release for, what I perceive is 
nothing more than hardware conflicts on a very small percentage of test 
systems that could be nothing more than the fact that they probably haven't 
synced to the package set recently enough, is foolhardy.

Third, I'm under pressure from my LUG that I run to find out when the ISO's 
will be available. We are running an install session soon. We really don't 
want to have to upgrade their machines like a week later when 9.0 comes out. 
So I'm asking the source, the Mandrake developers that are actively on the 
cooker list.

Finally, I really don't appreciate being yelled at over email. It only puts me 
in a bad mood.

Look I understand that you want to have a polished distribution, however, I 
really don't think that Mdk can keep shoving the release date back further 
and further just to fix things that really, as I said before, are probably 
machine specific and not the distros fault.
