Thanks Anne, I reinstalled, and just allowed the defaults to prevail.
I have installed and used Mandrake through several versions now, but I still find the *expert* install option quite cryptic. :-/
Just confirms my *newbie* status.
I seem to be having a problem with kded sucking up a lot of cpu cycles...upwards of 75% or so. I have disabled kded, but I wonder if I need it for anything.
It may be a bug perhaps, and I haven't done any updating yet.
Anybody note any similar issues with kded?
Best regards.

I just installed 10.1 Community Ed with reiserfs without toggling to expert mode. I don't remember exactly what I did. But toggling to expert mode definitely gives you more options. It seems to be straightforward to me.
