as the subscriber who first raised this, i can only agree with 1st-time AW. there are degrees of expertise, very wide ones: i've been using Mandrake for 2 years ( 6.1 , 8.0 briefly, 8.2 , 9.0rc1 ), but i have no idea what the strengths or weaknesses of 3.3.6 & 4.2.0 are. this is really one of those bits of ancient history which continue to lie around in the installation script: it's time the developers gave the script a quick review & cleaned them up. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto
