Er sorry Vincent if I confused you. I guess I have been misunderstanding this whole Chapter 11 ordeal... I was under the false impression that Mandrake was disappearing.
Lorne, I know what you mean about docs!! Has any one else out there found a suitable doc or must we infact shell out the $2,000? I did however find this for SNF so maybe it's close enough: http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/doc/72/SNF/en/user.html/ BTW, how has your implementation of MNF been coming? Still "kicking your butt"? I seem to have run into a weird problem after I try to configure MNF: I will log out then attempt to log back in (naturally thru the web interface) and I receive a return to the login screen with an error. This error is as follows: Cookies Not Found I've noticed I'm not the only one having this problem and I chimed in on that fact at alt.os.linux.mandrake ...you guys have any ideas on this one? In closing, I think we need to get more dialog going on this product. It appears to have massive potential, yet little recognition, wouldn't you agree? --- Lorne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wednesday 15 January 2003 02:32 am, JP wrote: > > T E <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> deeg zun bes op schoal um > hej te kinne schrieve: > > > > [snip] > > > > > > I highly recommend the newer one.
