I read an article last wk on ZDNET about mandrake7, which said
that the "update" option works fine ..  I did a full install myself because
I didn't have any "stuff" I was interested in keeping.

Incidently, you may be interested to know that the new KDE that is
shipping with man7 automounts ALL your volumes (in my case it
includes my 3 NT4 partitions ), though the WIN32 files won't autorun
(guess they don't have the WINE emulator integrated yet), you can copy,
open text files, open any MS Office files (assuming you have Sun's free
StarOffice on your linux machine) ..  it's really a cool feature!! Worth the
upgrade if you ask me.  It is really getting to be a world-class desktop OS
