goodaye, i was following this thread and have a question about the packages on the cd to install. where can i find out what the packages on the disk are and what they can do. i was most confused as i was installing mandrake in expert and had to choose which packages to install without knowing what they really wre and if i needed them. what would be handy to know is the consequences of installing or not installing them. could anyone advise me from their experience. thankyou, russell.
