Great, that's exactly what I want. I don't like Mandrake's menu layout. Also, why have 2 menus?? There's a Gnome menu and the Mandrake menu. Why not put everything together? Only makes things confusing for the novice user (my sister and mother, for example) Anyway, my iMac isn't running Mandrake PPC anymore. I had a disk crash, and ended up reinstalling Mac OS 8.6 on it. I'll switch to using my new PC for a while (a custom-built Duron 750 MHZ machine, which is more than I need. With Mandrake, of course!), until I can afford buying an iBook 2. PS: Does anyone have an ideia if the new iPod will work with Mandrake PPC? My guess is that it should be accessible like any other external FireWire disk, using the correct kernel modules (does Mandrake PPC support FireWire?). If anyone experiences with this once the iPod hits the market, please let the other list members know. The iPod would make a great companion for an iBook 2. :) > Hope to help > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Rafael Pereira > Rigues > Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 11:29 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Mandrake packages / FTP server. > > Hi everyone! > > I've been a "ghost reader" of this list since it was announced, and just > yesterday I had the chance to finally install Mandrake 8 on my Rev.
