Thank you Vincent, secteam members, Juan and the kernel developers. The information above and the notification(s) you sent regarding kernels and XFS being "safe" helped with the install I had to help with yesterday. It would have been a nightmare to have to call the gentleman to explain any of this after finally convincing him to give Mandrake a chance. If you're wondering he's thoroughly impressed and he's already advocating the distribution to his total "neophyte business neighbour." Damn! You MandrakeSoft people are good. :-) Regards; Charlie -- Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org Mandrake 9.1 Bamboo (cooked) 14:54:23 up 2:14, 1 user, load average: 0.14, 0.10, 0.05 "Absolutely nothing should be concluded from these figures except that no conclusion can be drawn from them."
