Current freq is dated 20010619, many weeks ago.   

This will not power down.    
It will not install X for a 3dfx Voodoo3 video card, whereas 8.0
vanilla does.    

So the next freq is overdue.

Why have the 7.2 unsupported folders been totally removed from the
Mandrake primary mirror ftp.uninett.no?   There are still plenty of
7.2 users out there.   The 8.0 unsupported folders are intact.
