John, I know it isnt much help, but what I did was load 6.0 back on my machine and get a refund. :o) No, really, there are some problems for some people (like me) on the new 7.0 MacMillan Mandrake. My install was 2:40 using the new or old install methods. I didnt have time to waste, so MacMillan quickly and promptly refunded my purchase price. ----Original Message Follows---- From: John N <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] URGENT HELP NEEDED Date: Sun, 02 Apr 2000 21:10:58 -0700 I installed, from scratch, Mandrake 7. It took 2.75 HOURS - usually takes 35 minutes. The system is now glacially s-l-o-w with far too much hard drive activity. It is also reporting a 2.2GB hard drive as about 5GB !! Have I activated any compression system, like the DOS DoubleDisk, by mistake? I have to have sendmail configured and running by morning so please H-E-L-P !!! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
