Hopefully If Mandrake were to develop yet another packaging system which were incompatible with RPM then one of the major strengths of the distro would die! One of the reasons that RPMs make mandrake great is that there are so many different programs available as RPM which work on almost all RPM based distros (excluding the RPMs which have distro specific dependencies of course).. I think it would kill Mandrake if they were to develop a new format! It would be much better to do what they are doing, improve RPM instead and evolve RPM while still maintaining a certain backwards compability.. > mandrake would be able to come up with something better than rpms and debs > (since they aren't much better).

I really think that you have the wrong take on rip-offs .. this is Open Source, meaning that Red Hat made a great product which MandrakeSoft (which of course wasn't a reality then) saw and decided that they could make it even better.. so why reinvent the wheel again when RH has made quite a nice one for them to improve upon? This is one of the prime reasons for the speed with which Open Source development is taking place! So don't think of it as YAR (Yet-Another-Ripoff(tm)), instead think of it as an alternative to RH which still maintains the things from RH that made it great! -- Anders -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.12 GO d--@ s:+ a-- C++ $UL++ P+ L++ E- W+ N(+) o K? w !O M-- V?

[Cooker] DrakeLogo 1.0-26mdk
I've tried DrakeLogo and nothing seems to happen when I start it.. it asks for root password and then nothing more happens.. I've tried starting it from KDE (Alt-F2) and from a shell were I would guess some debugging info should show up if something was wrong.. but it doesn't write anything there.. -- Anders -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.12 GO d--@ s:+ a-- C++ $UL++ P+ L++ E- W+ N(+) o K? w !O M-- V?

I don't believe the problem lies there.. when I boot in 2.4.8-12mdk there is no problem, but when I boot in 2.4.8-21mdk (and -18mdk. -19mdk and -20mdk) I get an error message in /var/log/messages saying it can't allocate 256 IO ports for CardBus Socket 0 (or if I put the PCMCIA card in the other slot, socker 1).. so the pcmcia.conf (or whatever it is called) shouldn't be the problem.. I must admit that I don't really have any idea exactly where the problem lies.. but I thought I'd just contribute a bit to Mandrake Linux by reporting a bug and helping with as much information about it as possible (I've reported it on qa.mandrakesoft.com as well..) -- Anders -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.12 GO d--@ s:+ a-- C++ $UL++ P+ L++ E- W+ N(+) o K? w !O M-- V?

Mine is actually an SMC card, but it identifies as LinkSys EtherFast PCMPC200 v2.. and uses the tulip_cb driver.. and it doesn't work when I boot in 2.4.8-20mdk (I _have_ installed kernel-headers-2.4.8-20mdk and kernel-pcmcia-cs-2.4.8-20mdk) -- Anders -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.12 GO d--@ s:+ a-- C++ $UL++ P+ L++ E- W+ N(+) o K? w !O M-- V?

[Cooker] Problems with PCMCIA in Kernel-2.4.8-19mdk
Hi there, I'm new on this list but having found a bug in the newest kernel in cooker I thought this list would be the best place to tell about it... I have 2.4.8-12mdk installed which works perfectly with my LinkSys PCMCIA network card. I also have 2.4.8-19mdk (and have tried 2.4.8-18mdk with the same result) where my nic doesn't work.. from /var/log/messages when I insert the card: Sep 7 00:39:10 ellie kernel: cs: cb_alloc(bus 2): vendor 0x13d1, device 0xab02 Sep 7 00:39:10 ellie kernel: cs: cb_config(bus 2) Sep 7 00:39:10 ellie kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0100-0x04ff: excluding 0x280-0x287 0x3c0-0x3df 0x4d0-0x4d7 Sep 7 00:39:10 ellie kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0288-0x03bf: clean.
