There is a file /etc/redhat-release that is actually a symlink to
/etc/mandrake-release. Remove that symlink and create a real file
/etc/redhat-release with the contents:
Redhat Linux release 7.1
That will fool the Gnome-1.4 installer into thinking your system is a
Redhat 7.1 system.
Worked for me. There were a few glitches. I seem to remember that the
installer barfed in the during the actual install. But by then it had
already downloaded all the rpms, so I just did a manual install.
Real support for Mandrake 8.0 would be nice.
