Mea Culpa, but this sounds like a Window's 'expert' kind'a fix.
Their usual advice is to just 'wipe and reload'. I'm glad you
fixed your problem, but with Windows I learned to maintain it, and
that's the course I'm lookin for with Mandrake.
With Windows, all that really needs to be done is to clean,
preen, and baby the Registry by an experienced user. I'm gonna follow
the path that Mandrake just deserves the same repect, as does any
distro. So my advice can only be, if you start havin' different, but
similar problems with RH .... it'll be high time to start lookin
real hard at the No.1 cause of computer problems, the interface
between the keyboard, mouse, and chair ;->
BTW, I leave in the mornin for Alabama, anybody goin to the races
at Dega? I meet with a lot'a I-net friends, usually in OV Hill S
Sec M-N Row 25, before noon. Look for people wearin stuff that says
RASN (rec.autos.sport.nascar). Go #3 (either one :)
