I re-installed Mandrake 8.0 from scratch on my appointed Win4lin box and used 
the on-line installation method for Win4Lin. Very nice. Someone asked if they 
had to do the online install, why bother to buy the CD? Well, for the manual, 
of course. 8). It _is_ inconvenient if you lack a fast internet connection. 
Perhaps an some kind of an offer of an updated CD?

Three items:

The Win4Lin modifications to /etc/lilo.conf are now much improved, but I 
would still like to see the spaces removed (root = /dev/hda3 should be  
root=/dev/hda3) and there is no reason to copy global vga settings to the 
Win4Lin stanza, is there? Thanks for improving this, folks.

The newest Mandrake kernel rpm will not boot my machine, spitting out error 
messages about unresolved symbols. The next-to-last kernel worked  before for 
me, however, even with a few error messages like that.  Perhaps my problem 
comes from having to use an initrd for the reiserfs module

>From other threads here, it seems that Win4Lin does not follow Mandrake 
conventions when compiling its version of the kernel. Why not?  If it's just 
like (and that's important) the stock Mandrake kernel, why is it necessary to 
different versioning if that confuses other things? It should be a direct, 
transparent replacement.
