Because of growing kernels, the need for drivers, and floppy drives staying at 1.44 MBytes size for more than 10 years. We can't do magic. We provide several ways of booting and rescueing a machine (come on, one can boot the rescue by cdrom, hard-drive, or network, that should be enough isn't it). I don't think other Linux vendors do more magic than us. If they do, please tell me, we could consider using the same magic than us. [...] > Yes; usually use the CD myself.

As long as more people test it, we discover remaining problems. May I remind you it's simply not possible to provide a 100% bug free software release? And please also consider the (low) number of employees and contributors we have to make a release. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
