-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was actually running version 7.2 and very happy with it, except for minor problems with my graphics card, which forced me to boot windows first, and then Mandrake. So, I asked on this list if I could upgrade to version 8.0, and civilme clearly advised me to stay out of it, lest I wanted to send my notebook back to the factory for replacement. So I installed SuSE 7.2 and it works perfectly, and I don't even have windows anymore. Problem is, I sell Mandrake locally and it is a pain to explain to people why I sell LM and use SuSE.
I'd give it a try, were it not for my fear of burning this thing to ashes. My confusion lies in the fact that I can run SuSE, and not LM, when Linux should be the same OS. How can I tell LM not to install lm_sensors (which I think is used by KDE)? Should I install Gnome and hope it'll be safe? Thank you. El Jue 16 May 2002 10:35, escribiste: > Curios on this one.
