I've come to the point where i don't trust the graphical configurators much at
all....i'm a little biased b/c i always tend to want to do things manually, so
that i can learn what's actually happening (that's whey i orginally wanted out
of Windows in the first place). MandrakeUpdate didn't work properly until i
upgraded it manually and then after some time it stopped working at all. No
error messages, it just doesn't come back with any updates whatsoever. I'm sure
i'm to blame for a lot of it, tinkering with things, tightening down security
to above-average tightness. Then i blew the rpmdrake database of available
packages and could never get it back. And the power manager, no matter what i
would choose it would not save it, but seemed to work as per my settings
anyway. *What* is up with that......So finally i just resigned myself to having
a broken gui configuration which doesn't really rub me the wrong way anyway
(which is why i resign myself to it i suppose).
I'm sure that helps you none at all, but i just thought i'd share it :-)
