On Monday 21 January 2002 11:14, you spoke unto me thusly: > Is it because mandrake never add functionality to a distro instead > prefering to leave it to the next version of the distro??
<sarcasm>like the way the slackers don't have anyway to update like a software manager or maybe a way for users to try out new software before release like the cooker. they need to get it in gear. </sarcasm> > personaly I have no problem with that, except that I think supermount was > too important a thing to leave out of a distro,, and mandrake would have > alot of happier customers if they released a "supermount patch" that is > basically a supermount safe 2.4 kernel... along with many other things that is what the cooker kernel work is for, i do believe. they also said they will be fixing the AMD cpu bug, and that is AMD's problem not theirs. > I was running 2.4.16-11 for ages with supermount enabled,, and never had a > problem with it.. then you answered your own question, mandrake does support such a kernel, and if you ask them for support on supermount my bet is that they give you several options to solve it, and that is one. how is that not adding functionality to a distro? i wish the other distros i have tried did half as much! guess that is why i stuck with this one. -- "If you don't know where you want to go, we'll make sure you get taken." -- Japanese translation of Microsoft's slogan shane registered linux user #101606 @ http://counter.li.org/ http://www.mystic-light.net/personal/ Proud to be a DMOZ editor since 10-98 http://dmoz.org cause humans do it better!
