Wow - I'm impressed. You flamed an entire list (in duplicate, might I add!) because you didn't get the answer you wanted from a free resource of volunteers. If you want answers that automagically appear at your command, might I suggest you contact the sales department of any of the companies out there who provide professional linux technical support? I fail to see what else you could possibly hope to accomplish (aside from asuaging your own ego) by this post.
Have a nice, fire-retardent day :) Tricia >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12:50:59 PM Monday, November 12, 2001 >>> I have decided to go with ManDrake 8.0 instead of 8.1 because of the difficultly with it recognizing my cd/dvd drive or my floppy drive (Dell Inspiron 4000). I gave in and loaded 8.0 last night and it installed without a hitch. Thanks to all the experts on this subject I was finally able to realize that I needed to install 8.0 and not 8.1. Its funny if I had a question about installing AOL on LM I would get at least 10 replies back within a half hour. I guess this subject is just to tough a topic for the expert community I will try the newbie forum.
