And impossible to learn from. I think you are talking about creating a distribution that is much like Lindows or Lycoris. Put the disk in, click a few buttons and reboot. I think Mandrake is much more than this and needs some of the added complexity to keep the power users around. No offense, but there already is a distribution (several) like this, why do we want to create another one? When I install a box, I want the install to be done on reboot, so the package selection and network configuration and all the other "complexities" in the installer are most welcome here. I don't want it to be like Windows where I have to spend an hour or four on configuration and software/driver installation after the OS install is done. When I install a server, I don't want all the desktop crap installed. Under your scenario, there is no mdk server. BTW, I like your interface, I think the layout is quite nice, but I don't think qt is going to be an option since all the mdk tools are built on gtk. -- /g "Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read" -Groucho Marx
