Rein,
Where is the live CD for Ubuntu available from? I might try
that as my friendly Linux mentor prefers FC5 / 6 over Mandrake. I
have been testing with the original issue CD (GMFSK) which is not
very reliable - server hangs after a couple of hrs, client cursor
locks on laptop when screensave times in - so will organise an
upgrade soon. I did manage to get the client going on FC4 but wouln't
ever want to repeat the procedure now you have CD distros available.
Perhaps my Macintosh classic OS background is showing here.
