If you want someone to listen to everything you say, go see a shrink. Cooker is a busy list. If you have a specific question (which is not off-topic or a help request) or a bug-report, it helps to cc the maintainer. Use rpmmon or rpm -q --changelog to see who that might be. Remember that if everyone is answering email, who's doing the development? I don't think, however, that you can call Mandrake inattentive. I guess you have all had email from developers at Microsoft, SUN, Redhat, SuSE when asking trivial questions? There are certain individuals at Mandrake who put in a terrific amount of effort in answering user questions (on the newbie and experts lists and on Mandrakeforum). | even though they have a strong | community of enthusiastic and caring users The Mandrake community (and the way Mandrakesoft promotes it) makes the distribution (both literally and figuratively). | - sometimes the calls for | alarm fall on deaf ears.

Most people here, I think, have a different opinoin, that we wouldn't have it any other way ... In the meantime, watch the KDE mirrors, as I am sure RPMs will appear there soon (as they usually do).
