Regarding the problems with XFS and no cut&paste between Netscape and KDE.
My XFS died while running Mandrake v6.1. Upgrading to 7.0 fixed it again.
And the problem with Cut&Paste between KDE and Netscape, is has always been
there in my setup. I have not been able to do this in Mandrake v6.0, 6.1
and 7.0. I think this is a KDE problem (or maybe Netscape since cut&paste
between KDE and every other X11 app. I have tried works fine).

Hi Allan;
If you are planning on upgrading a "production" machine to 7.0, IMHO I
would avoid it.
I upgraded to 7.0 from 6.1 exactly one week ago and in this week 7.0
has twice managed to bomb the "XFS" making it impossible to get into X.
Friday was the first time it bombed the XFS, I reinstalled and managed
to configure everything perfectly over the weekend...only to have it
bomb the XFS this moring.
All I did was turn the machine on and now my XFS is "dead" and so is my
X........grrrrrrr..... :-/
So that box gets unplugged and stuck in the corner until someone can
tell me how to fix this without a reinstall.
Another *highly* annoying thing that 7.0 is doing is that you can not
copy_&_paste from any KDE app into Netscape...what pain.
I read through all the archives this weekend, regarding using
Ctrl-C...Alt-C...it just does not work.
Also for me...."supermount" is a super-pain and I wound up removing
anything that refered to "supermount" so I could get my CDRom and CDR
working.
I am a Mandrake fan and am really trying my best to give 7.0 a fair
shake...but this XFS bombing and killing X is a major pain in the ass.
On many of the archives(Mandrake, Deja) I cruised this weekend there
appears to be a fair number of people having this XFS trouble, so my
suggestion would be too wait...unless you have too much hair and need
to pull some out trying to figure this XFS thing out.
- your mileage may vary -
