Very cool Mark. What do you think of Mandrake 8.1? I am bringing some copies to the LUGOD meeting tonight. Just a thought I have heard that Mandrake 8.1 comes with ext3 is this true and are you thinking of trying it out? Rusty

My new Western Digital 40GB hard drive crashed TWICE and I reinstalled Windows AND Linux TWICE because of it, until I finally gave up. I wiped the hard drive clean by writing zeros to it and returned it to CompUSA and replaced with with Maxtor 40GB instead (which turned out to be actually a Quantum 40GB because Maxtor and Quantum merged but Maxtor's still shipping drives with Quantum's logos on 'em.) Anyway, the second time I installed Linux, I used XFree 3.3.6 and had the TV tuner and the composit working. I'm now in the middle of updating my system for the third time. At least all these reinstalls gave me a chance to burn a copy of Mandrake 8.1 between the reinstalls so I got the latest version of Mandrake, and I also got to try out ReiserFS in a crashing situation. Reiser's been very cool so far, but it didn't help me any when the physical hard drive was broken. Anyway... -Mark (burning the midnight oil trying to reinstall everything...) -- Mark K.
