I don't recall seeing any problems that were not user-driven. > Here's a partial recap.

I didn't experience this. Did you send a message to Laurent asking about this? He built those updates. > 3. Mozilla printing just quit with no message.

Could have been cups or printer-drivers, but did you stop/start the cups daemon and possibly closed/opened mozilla to "refresh" the printer listings? Or did you do the install, with mozilla open, found you couldn't print, and then did the rpm -e/rpm -ivh combo? If this is all you have, your definition of "clobbered" and mine are extremely different. To me, clobbered means making it unreliable and/or completely unuseable. The first two issues, to me, are cosmetic... certainly nothing to force a reinstall (although, again, this is the first I've heard of that problem). The second is a nuisance, but since it worked fine over here, I'm wondering how you went about it, whether you did do the start/stop of your apps or whether you followed the scenario above. -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx -source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD : 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
