-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Unfortunately, this did not really solve my problems :-( For a while the connection seemed fine - except that it would still stall the start of any program if disconnected - but then after a couple of reboots I could not start any desktop environment, because of some connection issues IIRC. Oh well, back to the standard setup. If/when Deno implements the voting not only for RPMs but also for features, etc. in MandrakeClub I will suggest an improvement of normal functioning in Mandrake-Linux when no connection is present. I'm sure one of the clever people at Mandrake will come up with a good hack!
