Many of us would be VERY grateful if you'd fix these bugs and send
the "fixed" code to the Mandrake folks (or to the author of the
package) so they can release it to the general public.
I, myself, realize that Mandrake tries to be on the cutting-edge, and
being on the cutting edge, sometimes you bleed.... so I'm going to
wait for a bug-fix release to Mandrake 7.02 (which in itself is a
bugfix for 7.0 <G>) A lot of new stuff was included in Mandrake 7.xx,
so I think it's wise for people like you to do what you can to help
get it working, and I applaud you for your efforts.
Now, thanks to your efforts and those of people like you, the rest of
us can (hopefully) get a better release of Mandrake in 7.1 or
whatever they call it. :-)
