YES!!!!!!, (if I may jump in here) 7.1 has been THE most problematic install I
have ever done in about a dozen different flavors and versions, including
FreeBSD and Debian. I think Mandrake ought to stop with making it easier and
fancier and get it back to stable and less bug-ridden. This is after all,
Linux's strong suit. At $50.00+ I am seriously dissapointed w/ Mandrakesoft
and Macmillan. This is my third Mandrake, and probably my last. Don't court
Windows users by becoming the Beast itself!
