With all due respect, If you had read my earlier emails on this subject you
would have seen that I have installed every Linux distribution out there and
was even able to install the Mandrake 7.02 dist. on another computer. The so
called bug is not 'my' mistake, but the mistake of Mandrake. They have had
this problem with 7.0 since the Oxygen release, and even though many people
complained of the problem to Mandrake they refused to fix the BUG!!! This is
a corporate problem with Mandrake and they need to pull their respective
heads out of their self righteous arses before they rush a BETA product to
market under the guise of a final product. I probably would not be so
irritated if they had a fix for the BUG, but they don't and like others, you
have failed to give any helpful information on fixing the problem. Good Day
and Good Luck.
