Hey Pixel----- I would appreciate that you didn't answer my mails anymore.
Do you really think you know everything?? Many of us are not programmers,
but know a great deal about beta testing, as well as other things in life.
I was under the assumption that Mandrake wanted this all tested, and our
suggestions put forth. If this is not the case, then please let me know and
I will gladly unsub-scribe. I perceive you as an arrogant programmer with
no public skills.
Did you really check out suggestions 1 and 2? The rpmslist doesn't say
which CD the rpms go on. And drakboot doesn't have the MakeBootDisk button
on it (unless I'm blind, in which case my humblest apologies).
I would also suggest someone replace the stars on the progress bar of the
installer with small rectangles no taller than the text. The stars really
cheapen the installer (IMHO), and little colored rectangles would be much
more professional, and would give more room for text and it would make it
look not sooooo crowded.
Again, I would appreciate someone other than a programmer answer my mails.
Someone with some tact, and that will not put-down the humble beta testers,
new or not. I suggest Mandrake appoint one person with these public skills
to act as an intermediary between the programmers and the Cooker list.
Especially for suggestions vs. bugs.

there is via drakboot

it seems to be a good idea. I must be look at what it could break though :-/
(very frozen here!)
