Larry, Now that's what I call dancing on the razors edge. Clearly some folks are able to do what you're doing. I've had nothing but trouble and torment when trying to run Mandrake with Celeron/Intel hardware. WD is definately falling behind...(another story). As a matter of fact RedHat didn't run much better for me on my Celeron worstation. Now, my AMD at home is another story altogether. No worries at all. No matter what I'm running. And believe it or not I didn't stop running Windows because it ran crappy for me. I've found the secret to getting Windows to settle down and run stable is keeping the registry sqeaky clean. I just can't get Mandrake to run well with Celeron and Intel hardware. -- Mark / * Sometimes it becomes necessary to rock the boat * in order to get the rats up from below decks * so they can be kicked over the side and drowned! * * REGISTERED LINUX USER # 182496 */ <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<*REPLY SEPERATOR*>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> On Sun, 3 Dec 2000 Larry Marshall had this to say! > > > You know...if I didn't know better I'd say you both were trying to install > > Mandrake on Celeron processor machine with Western Digital hard > > drives.
