Although I can do most everything in Mandrake, I can't login. Not that it matters much, �'cause I don't need anything, what with everything working perfectly under 8.1. Then why "upgrade" ? Nevertheless, I've ordered the 8.2 powerpack. But I think I'll �leave it unopened, �'cause from what I read here on the list the CD-burning is a mess, and I need that gadget. Maybe 8.2 is a nice birthday-present to someone who doesn't burn CD's ? And, concerning Opera : I've downloaded their 6.beta , not from the Club, evidently, but from Opera themselves - works like a charm. All this reminds me of an old truth : " If it ain't broken, don't fix it" ! Regards, all ! Kaj Haulrich Denmark
