what is this kapm-idled thing and why can I not kill it? Why can I not disable it? Why is it absolutely there against my will? It takes up between 50 and 100% of my cpu on all monitoring progs making them USELESS and eventually causes my system to lock and crash. I uninstalled ALL kde packages since I don't particularly like kde and still there is kapm-idled mocking me. How can I make this go away? Oh yea, the system kernel panicks off of ANY newly built kernel and in most cases is actually unable to complete rebuilding a kernel. So don't tell me all I need to do is uncheck a box in make xconfig and recompile. I've read the kernel devel mailing lists and the mandrake expert lists in regards to this. "Just rebuild your kernel" is not an option on a system that is incapable of rebuilding a kernel if you use any of the default install options. I'm really pissed off about 8.0 right now. It's a lot faster then 7.2 when it works but hardly anything that I do with linux works in 8.0. I did an expert install and installed everything (20 gig HD the whole disk got installed) and I still had to hunt down extra packages just so I could rebuild RPMs. WTF is that? Then the kapm-idled thing starts up and my system starts locking up. ug. Why did all the install options go away? Does it have to be only "Expert" or "I'm an idiot" options? "I'm an idiot" won't even let me name a partition anything but what is in the drop down box. WTF is that? Why is the "Expert" install basically the normal install from 7.2? Anyway, if anyone can help with my questions I appreciate it and if anyone actually read this whole email I congratulate you on your perseverence. Sorry to bitch so much but I traded a functioning mandrake 7.2 for a worthless 8.0 today and I'm pissed off about it. I've been working on this for almost 12 hours now. Abe ===== Jesus saves.
