Thanks it's not a matter of what I can do. I've been using linux for at least
5 years. with mandrake 5.3 I had to manually configure my isa modem to start
at boot from obscure references. I for one am thankful the mandrake has the
wizards they same me and others much time. However if the tools don't work as
expected then they need a little work. I'm an above average user and
contributer to mandrake and if the wizards don't work like expected out of
the box what will the normal everyday user think. They don't have enough
brain power to read the fine manual. It's not about me it's about what the
end users will think.
My setup is working. Maybe not exactly like I would like it to but it works.
Thats good enough but when the know nothing end user gets ahold of it and
tries allot of the things I did most will give up in frustration before they
get it working or post flames in highly visible places. Thats not my style I
just bang away till it works and then at least I can pass a little of it
along to others.
