Actually, according to the folks at Mandrake, it WAS based on RedHat
(past tense.) Version 6.0 used the RedHat installer. I just saw a
demo of the new RedHat installer yesterday. Haven't yet seen
Mandrake's installer, so I can't comment on any similarities or
differences. However, I have it straight from the proverbial Horse's
mouth -- Mandrake is NOT RedHat!
