I hate to say this, but I am in shock..
I just installed 7.2 from the current ISO images - did an expert install and
installed everything- and for the very first time, of any Mandrake or SuSE
install, ALL of my devices (except my USB HP scanner - not supported yet as
far as I know ) worked out of the "box" - my SBLive! card, DSL, floppy, ZIP,
CDRW (although I haven't tested if the writing part works), printer (HP
Deskjet 950C) all work !!! Printouts look incredible. I can't believe I
don't have to coerce my sound card into an operational state.
KDE2 installed fine - XFree 4.01 looks great - my flatscreen monitor looks
excellent !!!! This is GREAT !!!!
Konqueror looks fine - no more ugly fonts - Kmail set up as easy as pie
One thing - amyone know where in KDE2 you can install new themes ? I don't
see the Theme Manager that used to be in the Control center.
This is a pure standalone, at home, machine - nothing too fancy, but that may
change now.
Way to go Mandrake !!!!!
cheers,
philomena
