OK, this may be a source of problem... I had Mandrake 7.1. An IT guy at my
university had Mandrake 7.2 (I don't know where he got it - a software store
or off the net) and he burned me copies of the two CDs. I installed from
that on both my laptop and desktop. On both I did an Expert install of a
developer type. On my desktop, harddrive space is not an issue so I
installed EVERYTHING vis a vis development libs. On the laptop, same thing
but space is a premium so I only installed the minimum devel libs and tools
that I thought I could conceivably use.
I honestly do not recall experiencing any problems or glitches during the
installs. After installing I did the MandrakeUpdate thing. I did it again
just a couple days ago to bring glibc2.1 up to the latest update versions.
XFree86-4.0.2 was downloaded as source and built myself and works fine.
