I put Cooker RC2 over my Bamboo last night, and I'm pretty unhappy that I did so.
When I reboot after the upgrade, my taskbar buttons have been reconfigured. Some, for example KMail, are gone. Others are new. In my opinion new is okay, I can always deal with that. But I cannot come up with any justification for an upgrade routine that subtracts or eliminates anything I've configured. Moreover, and really annoying, my KMail appears to have vanished into the ether. It is not on *any* menu or sub menu (believe me, I have checked and triple-checked them all), and I cannot find it on the drive (which may be that I simply don't know where or how to look). So I'm rather annoyed at the moment, and e-mailing from Windows. I realize a beta is a beta is a beta, etc. But an RC2 is also extremely close to a release version, and many actually be one. The reason I did this, by the way, is that someone else running a P4PE with onboard sound told me it worked in Cooker. Not mine. So this entire exercise was a waste of time, and has apparently set me back rather than moved me forward. Is one able to trust an upgrade routine from Mandrake? To what extent? Where do you suppose my KMail is? Yes, "upgrade" was selected from the install routine. Lance
