I likewise am back on Mdk 6.1 after a few days of trying
to get 7.0 to "work". My main problem is the Intel drivers
I got won't recognize the 2.2.14mdk?? kernel as a 2.2 kernel
the mdk "customized" version pukes, so I am awaiting the
chance to try out Red Hat 6.2 and see it the kernel in it
is a little more "mainstream" I'm not advanced enough to
get into kernel hacking although it's tempting sometimes!
