Right now I feel guilty since I'm not financially supporting Mandrake. Buying a copy in a local computer store supports the distributor and the store a lot more than it does Mandrake, and it doesn't give me anything since all the software is older than what I'm already running. If I had a mechanism (online please!) whereby I could give Mandrake $50-100 directly on an annual basis, I would likely do so. If you want, you can donate some money to MandrakeSoft.

I was totally compiled after that experience. Do you have now binary RPMs (or compiled from tar.gz)? If you have binary RPMs for LM 7.2, may be, we can make them public on some ftp server? Finally, we can put them on RPMFIND.net, why not? Just mark them as "Builder: LM Fan Club; Distribution: Linux Mandrake 7.2" As I already said, it's much better to use KDE 2.1 ... when it's available, and not to use KDE 2.0.1. Unfortunately, KDE 2.1 is not in Release condition yet. P.S. I have working QT 2.2.2 binary rpms for LM 7.2, and (god!) it is i686 built. (not *default* i586) If somebody is interested - let me know. Binary has bigger size then RPMs created by Chris. /don't know why; if you know why - let me know ;-/ I can built i586 binary as well, if there is an interest. It just 35 minutes on my Pentium III box. To my mind, you should update to QT 2.2.2 even if you use KDE 2.0 Release from LM 7.2.

Just test it! http://kde2.newmail.ru/font_test_arial.html Vadim, I would be VERY interested in getting copies of the spec files for both qt-2.2.2 and KDE 2.0.1. I've already downloaded the source for all but I prefer to build the rpms myself (I'm not really enamored of the idea of using -ffast-math with and optimization level of 3) Also the CPU I have is a K6-2 450MHz. Would it be possible to post the spec files somewhere? Thanks and best regards, Arnold Troeger

Just want to ask people who using CD-recorders with Linux. What models you have? Any problems/glitches? Are CD-RW disks/drives fully supported?

Just test it! http://kde2.newmail.ru/font_test_arial.html I had a Phillips 3610 IDE CDBurner. It was a POS. The local Phillips shop replaced it three times and, each time, after a run of maybe 5 or 10 burns it would generate coasters regularly. I tried upgrading cdrecord to 1.10a4 (very interesting comments about Phillips in the documentation there). In the last couple of weeks it would regularly lock up my machine. In desparation, I installed windows 98 and tried using the Adaptec software that ships with the cdwriter to burn CDs; still, lockups. By this time, the warranty had run out and so, rather than fight it, I bought an HP 9610 CD-RW and have only generated one coaster out of 40 burns (the coaster was due to a power failure; my next purchase is a UPS). From my personal experience I recommend staying away from Phillips as they have some quality control problems and some developer relations problems. The HP CD writer works very nicely. The Phillips CD writer is now serving as a paper weight on my desk at home; a task to which it seems very well suited.
