I installed Mandrake 8.0 last night, there were a few issues though. Framebuffer bootup locks at Xwindow startup Non-FB mode works well though. 8.0 will not see my pcmcia card modem (3com) however beeps twice when inserted /removed. It does appear that 8.0 *is* seeing my builtin Xircom Winmodem though During install was not given a chance to make a boot disk, but it turned green If you choose to install VNC Server from install package lists, it starts upon bootup and will stall there until you enter a pw, but you dont see it asking for a pw. Mandrake's auto-detect for connection to internet defaulted to modem, and I was never able to enter a hostname or configure my net card via installation. AA is terrible with my Savage MX/IX cardset at 1024x768 and 16 bit. X flashes the whole screen like 4 times before it syncs to it Where have the KDE screensavers gone to? All I have access to is the xscreensaver ones. That is all I can think of off hand for now, as I haven't had the chance to play with it yet. My system is a PIII 650 128M RAM Savage video Yamaha sound DVD. I like the network dialog screen giving you the chance to setup the lan, modem all at once myself. Brian D.
