I have twice installed RC1 on this Athlon/Via chipset/DMA100 box, and I get an unusable OS. Everything crashes all the time ---- netscape, konqueror, mozilla, nautilus, gnome/kde (bounces out to login screen !), Internet sharing wizard freezes --- list is long. I have not been able to use the system for more than 5-10 minutes at a time. Now it refuses to boot because of errors in the file system..... there is no mouse to click the "Yes" button for repairs I'll say this: the 686-optimized code makes things blazing fast ! scarily fast, much faster than 7.2 version, had to get used to it at first --- but the system is very jittery, buggy, crash-prone, unusable.... Im rooting for Mandrake, but its not ready for desktop 'prime time' (at least not on this hardware).... this version should have been called 7.3.... I wish I could give y'all more useful feedback but Im not a techie __________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/
