Hi Hugo, I can confirm 1) 2) and 4) below. I had no problems with the sound card and I personally feel that (1) and (4) are serious errors that were overlooked by the release team/ testers, while 2 is extremely irritating. See my posts subject Solution -- MDK 8.1 CD & FLOPPY cannot be mounted for seeing the ridiculous amount of work that I had to put because the Mandrake release team decided on all sorts of experimental stuff in their 2.4.8 kernel.
Somewhat advanced users can solve these problems, but for newbies and others who are not technically inclined, these are definitely dead end problems and will serve to further the image Linux has as a "programmers'" Operating System.
