Hardware problems can often be worked around (change hardware, use some boot option, install on other hardware/kernel), but we won't be using 9.1 on any servers until we have ACLs.

Not necessarily a Mandrake problem, but the win4lin kernel again does not write CDs successfully. Has someone tried it on other distros? Anyone care to take a look?
