Andrei, Thanks, but that was mentioned earlier in the thread, this was started by my saying i was playing with the gui a while back trying to find out what drivers were loading to support my NIC, and the gui was sadly disappointed as compared to several others i've used. To be dead honest, Mandrake 9.0 has a nicer GUI, more functional as well. DISCLAIMER: I'm not saying mandrake (driva) is better, just that the installer is prettier, and lets face it, since you only run it once, why not make installing an eyecandy experience. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHxk65LeTfO4yBSAcRAt7nAJ4mjriV0FdgRmKLrQ0UhJ4fZGj+IgCeIlRE TQVvqkaSa7yRYzfOSI8wIk4= =8der -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
