Hello everybody I would like to write about my experience with the installation of Mandrake 7.2 (release 7.2rcl). My computer is a Pentium III 800 bus 133, 128 Mb RAM, Quantum HD 30 Gb, Yamaha CDRW, Hitachi DVD, Avermedia Capture98, Voodoo3 3000, Epson Stylus Color 760 printer. I tryed a first installation using a floppy disk, but the KDE gived me lot of problems. The second time I used CDROM installation and the results were better. I had problems with the tv-card sound but i solved they creating a script to run the kwintv, cabletv and xawtv with appropriate parameters, and now the tv works fine. The printer did not work fine, but using kups the results are wonderfull; my printer works OK at 720 ppi!!! My Voodoo3 3000 has not been detected as a 3dfx accelerate card and I don't know how to force linux to do that. Other problem that I have not solved is with the CDRW Yamaha, because it works OK to copy CD-ROMS, but I can't read CDs. I had this problem with Mandrake 7.0, but it was solved with 7.1 release. I have analyzed the main files (fstabs, mtab, modules.conf) and the parameters are the same that the used with 7.1. I can not understand where is the problem, because it is supposed that supermount solved these kind of problems. Because rpmddrake can't read cd cdrom (1) I tryed to force the program to read the cdrom2, but when I deleted the cdrom (1) analysis, rpmdrake hung and from then I can not lunch it. I have searched all rpmdrake files (using locate) and I can't find any config file for this program. i have uninstalled and installed again it several times but the problem persist. Could anybody help me to solved these problems; actually Mandrake 7.2 looks great, this weekend I will try to download the final release.
