I haven't been able to upgrade this machine to 7.2 yet due to DiskDrake problems, so I am still running 7.1. Not sure I want to upgrade given the problems that I am having at home with 7.2. CUPS is awful!! Somehow my rpm has been corrupted. Every time I install a package I get this message: erro

I think that you might find the same problem with RH. I have pinstripe installed on one of my machines, and it looks good. On another of my machines I get configuration problems .. well, it IS beta. But they both use the new RPM format. FWIW, Mandrake beta looks pretty good too, and I haven't

Apparently XFree86-4.x still has bugs in it. When I first installed Mandrake I tried this version of XFree, and found it to be more than a bit strange so I installed and began using the older version. I think it's 3.3.x or something like that. At any rate the older version is stable and the system

Well, this is a stupid and useless post perhaps, but I'm getting the same errors as well. Haven't really looked into it, but what seems to cure my problems is replacing "%configure" with "./configure" (of course, I loose the extra options that are contained in the "%configure" call). So my wild gu
