The only major problem I have with Mandrake on the install is setting up
PPP. I can get it to find my modem and actually dial, but it wont hold the
connection (not a winmodem :) ) I did some poking around on the
mandrakeuser.org site and found a really strange PPP setup. Will regular
scripts work under MDK? I've heard this is the case a few times on this
list. I'm using the box for a server so PPP is pretty important.
On a side note, MDK finds my 3com905b as a tulip, is this normal? And can
anyone tell me how well ipchains works under 7.0...I'd hate to get it all
set up and find that they do not work at all. I love MDK on my "fun"
machine, connected to internet through a LAN, I had no probs setting it up
and everything works perfectly, but the other day I tried to replace RedHat
6.1 on my server with Mandrake 7.0 and had a terrible time of it. I finally
put RH back on. I guess I too will wait for the 7.1 which is a shame because
other than the PPP nightmare everything, as I said, is golden.
