The LSB project www.linuxbase.org aims to do exactly
that. This compatibility is what the LSB option during
Mandrake install is for. However it has a very long
way to go.
In order to have these "universal RPMs":

libraries. LSB has mostly achieved

Wouldn't work, because dm service just calls prefdm
with a fork, so it's effectively executing X and KDE
and everything else in parallel. As I've said, this
makes X start veeery slowly. When I remove the fork,

Hello Jos!
I think you have an excellent page there.
Here are some thinkings:

one changes some piece of hardware (they'll probably

Hi,
Recently there were some articles on Slashdot
proposing alternative boot procedures. Most of them
advocate parallelizing of SysV-init tasks. Motivated
by these I've decided to make a detailed analysis of
boot procedure and see how can I make it faster.

I have here a HL-DT-ST GCE-8400B CD-RW. MB is a
taiwanese (i think Chaintech) with VIA KT-266. RC2
installed fine, didn't have time to try 9.2 final
though, I'll probably do it over the weekend and let
you know. How do I find the firmware version?

Hi,
Thank you all for your responses! This thread is much
more than I've expected. These are a few
clarifications, cause I see that there are already
some ideas better then what I originally had.

Hello list,
I wasn't much involved in Mandrake development until
now (except translation), but I hope that that will
change. First I must say that, as a long time Mandrake
