yeah, I'd love to see mandrake package an update CD, and make it a self installer... ie run a setup file and let it look over your machine and update stuff it finds...
the update would have all the packages for security updates and patches for the 7.2 stuff.. maybe even a few new things like postfix and samba and bind, stuff that 7.2 diehards need.. people would pay 5-10USD for that I imagine.. it doesnt' mean that you never have to run update again, but it would lessen what you need to download. I must admit, 7.2 is still my favorite, but I must also admit I have yet to have any problems with 8.1 either. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ken Hawkins Sent: Saturday, 15 December 2001 6:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] Mandrake Update problems on LM 7.2 Welcome to my heck. I have been EXTREMELY pleased with how well 7.2 has worked on every system where I have installed it. 8.0 and 8.1 seem to be evenly split on the love it/ hate it and ease of installation scale; I refer you to archives for that discussion. I personally didn't have a lot of luck with either 8.x flavours, but I am very much looking forward to an 8.2 release; from what I have seen here and elsewhere the same sort of debate occured at MDK 6.x and 7.x, with the X.2 releases being the robust, mature versions. I never hesitate to recommend MDK 7.2 to those from the win-duh-ohz world for their first GOOD O/S Ken --------- windows ||||||| plagues Coincidence? I think not!
