Theres a real easy way to fix it.. Get the source and compile it yourself.
Heres an even better question: Did you buy Mandrake or did you download it?
And when I say buy it, I dont mean from CheapBytes. Did you buy a support
agreement? People that buy genuine copies of Mandrake, or support agreements
obviously are going to get preferential treatment.. Sorry, thats how a business
works. Don't like it? You're more than welcome to go out and build your own
Linux distribution. I downloaded my copy of Mandrake 6 and I would never dream
of attacking these people the way you have in this forum..
Next question: If you think this is such a simple problem to fix, why dont you
help a little and fix it? And then, submit the fix to the developers?
Isn't that supposed to be what Linux is all about?? Everyone helping everyone
else to make Linux better??
Axalon, Gael, and the others don't have to monitor this list. I, personally am
grateful for their presence here.
