My experience with Mandrake 7.2 has been very poor. I had a perfectly functional 7.1 system but decided to install 7.2. The install went smoothly but the resulting system is very buggy. The Kmenu has numerous duplicate entries and numerous entries that do not work including several that used to work in kde1 (from 7.1). Things such as xscreensaver, gkrellm, locate, etc. etc. Incidentally I did not do an "upgrade" having been warned that that had problems. I therefore formatted the main partition (keeping my /home/ user/local and /opt partitions) and did a "fresh" install. It looks pretty (matter of taste) and things like kmail look nicer but the new "knewmail" that is listed on the menus did not exist - one of many. I am reverting to 7.1 till they figure out all the bugs. Jeff Malka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Registered Linux user 183185 ----- Original Message ----- From: Werner E.
