But being stupid and thinking if I buy the Wal-Mart 4CD set, I would be adding to the mandrake coffer. BUT! the cheap bytes installs KDE2, where the wall-mart boxed set installs KDE2pre <=== honest, I have both packages. Also it is better to dump and install than upgrade, not only does the upgrade take like 2 light-years to run, but eventually dies a horrorable death -- Michael Powell PhD [EMAIL PROTECTED] Scyld Beowulf Cluster Master on Linux-Mandrake 7.2
