Subject: [newbie] Mandrake 8.2 Features or 9.0 version

> 1. Change screen resolution directly in X Windows, rather "Ctrl Alt +/-"
> If I want to change my screen resolution, I should:
> a. Go to Mandrake Control Panel
> b. Access the "Desktop" then click on "Screen Resolution"
> c. Click the screen resolution that I want
>
> 2. Integrated Control Panel. Any setting should be access via Control
Panel.
> ANY SETTING!

> 3. No more stupid name "xyx -123-xxxx.RPM". Just use "install.exe". Paket

> a. \mnt\cdrom\startoffice\install.exe
> b. \mnt\cdrom\kde3.0\install.exe
> c. \mnt\cdrom\koffice2.0\install.exe

> Below is the example to install StartOffice with NEW Mandrake generation:
> a. Insert cdrom, go to \mnt\cdrom\StartOffice\install.exe
> b. When I access "install.exe" the installation will:
> c. Automatic detect whether I already have previously program

> Why shoul be separate?
