The first time I installed Mandrake, I was at a loss, even though the installation went without a hitch. It was up and running in no time - a flawless install in 9.0. Trying to get a network printer (on Win2000) to work was not so easy, but then again it was equally difficult with Windows (allowing for the difference in learning curve, of course). As a complete newbie, I messed up a few things, just as Windows newbies do too. I stuck with it, though, and got it to run. I did a complete reinstall of MD 9.1, again flawless, and it was VERY much easier to install all the stuff after going through it once. Again, the learning curve. When I installed MD 9.1, I also reinstalled Win2000 on a new box. The MD install went faster, and was easier than the Win2000 install, IF I also include the many apps installed on both. I also assume you REALLY know how to reboot in your sleep. :-)))) CH> I must be hiding in hole because programs rarely install (easily) CH> for me. Hmmm... my experience is a bit different. Most everything installs OK. The occasional rpm that does not is usually explained well on this list, and usually fixed with the help of these generous people. CH> I'm tring my best.

If you can indeed install Windows in your sleep, you should not be in the mass of illiterate users who barely know how to turn on their computer, and you should do well if you stick with it during the learning process. I am **VERY** glad I stuck with it. It is a delight to know I'm no longer captive to M$ - that alone is worth every minute I invested. -- Thank you, rikona mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
