To all that are having probs installing MacMillan/Mandrake 7.0. I did
several different installs to see how they went and how they performed.
Well the standard install without using Power Quest BTmagic and do use
the "lilo" is the best performer. Also I found that when I did
additional 'upgrades' or 'updates', what ever it is called, there were
additional programs installed. For what reason is not clear but
performance is the best when you DO NOT use the 'Lnx4Win', for sure. I
have had times when my mouse response will take up to 5-25 minutes to
react, well do not use the 'KDE Control Center' and access the Keyboards
or Keys, for ever. I use the BIG 'K' on the 'Panel' then 'Settings' and
do them individually, NO PROB BOB!!!
I hope this is GOOD for you as it has done me WORLDS of it,
don
I thought I knew that I knew what I thought
But now I know that what I thought I knew
Isn't what I know I think I thought I knew.
