In some particular cases, the XFree screen test made after installing packages of Mandrake may hang, either by user error or some configs. This is very frustrating for newbies to have to reinstall the entire system just because they should have answered no to the X test. So is that possible to

It seems that Mandrake is pushing k3b as the main CD writing software (or do I mistake here ?) However, I do not like very much the mess that k3b puts in mounting points : it creates in fstab new entries and new mounting points like /cdrecorder and /cdreader not in /mnt/ but in the root
