Hello! I've installed Mandrake 7.0 linux and found there is FAKE KERNEL 2.2.14! Actually, it is only 2.2.13 with several buggy patches applied. For example, there is BIG problems with Intel EtherExpress Pro 100 network cards - some problems with "restarting transmitter". Also, "mount" smbfs from fstab doesn't work. Also, it is unable to unmount smbfs volumes at shutdown. Also, some sysinfo programs unable to get swap-partition info. When I removed Mandrake's fake 2.2.14 and installed REAL 2.2.14 with several patches (Secure Linux patch, REISERFS patch, IDE patch) - everything O'k now. By some reason Mandrake decided to REMOVE irc2 from my old installation. I don't know why, but it is so. It is pity, but it seems to me Mandrake is going the same way that Microsoft goes - users are stupid, so they can foolish them... :( -- ________________________________________________________ Regards, Dmitry Niqiforoff [tel. +7 8462 427427] Kraft-S, JSC.
