One thing you should watch for -- many packages will compile fine, but completely bomb because there are assumptions in the source code about integers being the same size as pointers. If it is easy, could you consider adding another category to the above: packages which compile but emit warnings similar to: "pointer cast to integer of different size" I wonder if RedHat has patches for their Alpha packages...

Does Mandrake have the same problem? Not for me since the last successful Panoramix (DrakX) install. The latest lilo.conf just has "vmlinuz" and the install of a new kernel makes all the proper links. I simply re-boot now without changing anything or running lilo and I have my new kernel. Very simple. But, I always keep a complete working kernel just in case the latest fails.
[Cooker] xdrake install
it stays at the detecting cdrom screen when trying to boot the setup disk. on screen3 the last couple of lines say error in exec of second stage loader error: No such file or directory I just updated my mirror this morning. The normal cooker install goes until almost to the package selection - after the user id screen and then has a bunch of errors - I don't remember then a whole screen full. Looks like redhat stuff.

Re: [Cooker] xdrake install
hmm. no its not there and not on my mirror either. in the mirror it should be in for example ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_VGA16 ? cause if I look at several mirrors they don't have this structure in them either if this is not where it is located ... then where? under Mandrake on the cd-rom I just have Base, Instimage, and Rpms. ps. I am looking at it in windows so may have lost case, but I wrote in on another mandrake box with the directions on the cooker page on the web site.

Re: [Cooker] imwheel
This does not work for me. Do I need to run imwheel or what. I understood that I only needed to put this file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Netscape and have the ZAxis entry in XF86Config; but it does not work, all I get is netscape menu when I turn the wheel down. --- Pablo Saratxaga [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Kaixo!
