I'm just about ready to give up on Mandrake. First time it agressively overwrote a windows dist, and this upgrade joke is even worse. For you, go RED HAT 7.2, as I have experience getting that working on a SIS board with all built-in SIS stuff. The only thing not working is accellerated video. My 8.0 to 8.1 "upgrade" lost half my prefs, now tries to mount a floppy twice upon bootup, and renamed all my groups from 'users' to numbers, which causes an error every time I bring up a terminal. Has *anybody* had ANY luck with this supposed upgrade? 30-35 packages failed to 'upgrade' without any explanation why, all on disk2. Yesterday I had a perfectly functioning M8.0 dist, with working Xv and Xine, today I have a crap M8.1 dist with holes, and Xine won't even run in Xv mode. I'm disgusted as well, is there a M$ mole on the upgrade team?
