Yes, but only mandrake developers have permission to post bugs in bugzilla. Someone said it was to prevent stupid bug reports from being filed. I think this is a pretty stupid decision. How about we open up bugzilla and have a few volunteers from this list sift through the bugs and confirm them? After all, Bugzilla is far better than Mandrake expert for this type of thing. -- -- Igor
