heehee - oh yeah, I tried to use a metric screwdriver on an English screw...
But seriously - a valid question, if'n you dunno how fussy I tend to be, and missed the part where I said "RPM for Mandrake 8". They were 'drake rpm's. They was no worky. Along with a host of other things I've had to bludgeon into submission. I've been singularly unimpressed with Mandrake so far. That machine is now a "toy" that lives under my desk ::taps case lovingly with foot:: and we're using RH 7.1 on the production server. BTW, we're having much less trouble with that RH box in general than we're having with this one. ::Shrug:: =) Amanda Paul Cox wrote: > On Thursday, Oct 25, 2001, Amanda wrote: > > > RPMs under Drake, in my experience, are evile.
