I don't feel bad, it's just that I've bought Mandrake 9.2 more than a

the vendor said "you have to support a French editor..." and more

continue do kill my cd-rom drives ;-)
Of course this is not big deal. But now I need to fix it with some
unfindable patchs,
on a machine that doesn't run DOS....for a Mac user, it looks like a
real pain in the ass.
But as you said, it's life and I promise : I will not cry ;-)
Stephane, it's not worth too much struggle to get 9.2 working -
it's too near
the end of its life. You can get 2005LE very cheaply from a number of
sources if you don't want to or can't download. If you don't know
suitable
sources, tell us where you are and someone will suggest one.
Of course it's not a question of money or something. It's just that I
have a couple of
Dell servers (not too young: one is a Dell PowerEdge SC500 Celeron
900 Mhz with 128 Mo RAM).
In my newbie mind, I was supposing that these old machines could
serve as Linux test machines
but due to their age, my idea was to put an old Linux on, avoiding
big ressources needs.
The other part of the 'problem' is that I own a brand new NoteBook
(Samsung M40) that runs Windows XP:
of course I would like to get Linux running on it (dual boot) but
regarding my CD-Rom murders history, I'm
scared with that idea. Then this is really frustrating ;-)
Regards.
