Hrm I have noticed that my machine often does not shutdown correctly however
i will log out from the Mandrake shutdown button (for non-Mandrake users
think of the RedHat graphical login and add a shutdown option as well as a
GUI option). Also everytime i install the next time i reboot after hitting
okay to say that i have removed the boot media my system will say that i did
not unmount the hard drive correctly... hrm what is up with that? Does that
happen on other ppls systems too? Just a stab in the dark, but that could
be why after a fresh install i have the same problems... Well thanks for
reading my note hehe.
