Hmm, I might be figuring out my own problem again... I got confused
because I have two Mandrake 7.0 boxes and assumed they'd be identical.
That ain't the case because it looks like one is 2.2.14-15mdk
and the other (with the "problems") is 2.2.14-15mdksecure. Somehow
I gotta figure out how to change it to the other one. Probably in
some online docs somewhere. Anyone know offhand? I'll probably
just look it up tomorrow after getting some sleep.
