Well, it took about 4-1/2 days via BitTorrent, but the download of the 5
PowerPack discs for 10 Community finally finished earlier this evening,
so they're burnt and installed (did an upgrade rather than fresh install
... yeah, I know, I can hear you already ;-)

Anyway, on a positive note, now that my BT download is done and the new
Mandrake version in place, /NOW/ I'm able to install the
bittorrentshadows client and have my BT GUI.  (and, yes, I've got the
two .iso sets up and available via BT now)... That went without a hitch
despite its refusal to install earlier.

So, /two/ annoying things ... maybe just one, but possibly two.

First, some fonts seem a little odd ... just slightly off, like the
kerning is set incorrectly.  My eyesight's not so hot these days, so
it's hard for me to define exactly what's going on with them, just that
they're "off" a bit.  I suppose I can play with those a bit.

The other thing is that the menuing in the new KDE is different ... I've
heard of others losing their menus and having to do an update-menus -v
from konsole, but mine are there, just rearranged (which I expected to
an extent, but some things seem rather odd, such as only Editors showing
under Applications, and just WWW under Networking.  Some of the changes
seem to be for the better (more intuitive), and others just seem odd to
me.  Is my menuing fubar'ed, or do I just need to get used to the new
arrangement in the updated KDE?

Anyway, except for a little annoyance or two, so far everything seems to
have gone well with the upgrade from 9.2 download to 10.0
community/powerpack.
