dots are ok. but watch where you put them or the numbering gets all
fubar. The milestone should be a piece of the %{version} IMO, because
thats what it is isn't it, but you'd still need to workout a numbering
scheme.
And probably the best thing todo is continue the
'Obsoletes: mozilla-Mxy' untill it is released and then
'Obsolete: mozilla-M9'

No. First off I never said to use nodeps. You want to install it along side of the older version, breaking as little as posible in the mean time. If you use nodeps you do not get told about the missing file (tracking it down now) in libgtop-1.1.5-0.1mdk (libgtop_sysdeps-1.1.so.5), it would be pretty much useless > What happens if you force 1.1.5 on and then remove 1.1.3?

Give me another two hours and i will have a full explination.
But it does accept 'Provides: kernel = %{version},' I'm checking
'Provides: kernel,' now. It should read the package version but I'd like

it's a spec bug, it reads
Provides: kernel=%{version} module-info kernel-fb
it should read.
Provides: kernel = %{version} , module-info, kernel-fb
Shouldn't it?

So for rpm. it should be 3.0.4-0.2216 (umm i dunno if that format is the std right now but..), then after an official tarball is released it will be 1mdk, and the next CVS copy would be 1.20001010mdk (or whatever the "checkout" date) this would be probably most effective if it includes zulu time > Any other suggestion appreciated. > > Also, it would be great improvement if changelog messages contained a > link to the ftp location, to download in a single click associated rpm > and srpm.

Yes put it into the "options" in linuxconf, just remeber also that you need to set "partition" and "mount point" to the mount point, and you'll have to manualy type "supermount" as the type because linuxconf doesn't know about supermount.

Thanks. If you tryed it and it said anything other than 128Megs you did it wrong. It doesn't get a choice if you tell it it believes it. It does however still run a test on the memory, which points out things like shared memory which was point to be eugene. The usual cause for this is mismatched ram (those 12lb books they have to check ram, they really do need), purchase and install two identical 64meg chips and your problem will go away unless you still have the "memory hole" enabled (but i'm sure you've had an earfull of that) And to repeat, it doesn't have a choice if told correctly.

Re: [Cooker] Mandrake 7 ISO V2 soon avalaible
Ok i can't hold back.. Do you really think they have alcohol funny car drivers stareing at the sky when the lights go green. They don't trust me my whole family drives or has driven. And quite personal if i'm working in the sun or snow damned right i'm going to find a way to get a roof up before anything else. A teepee is laced from top to bottom also. Basicly, top to bottom bottom to top who the f**k really cares it's not broke is it..? To change it for some philisophical reasons makes no sense. At first i thought you just wanted to run the install at a different resolution, which was a much better than "because so-in-so did yadda yadda". It has merit for machines with only a Television to display on that way atleast :) And it does that because he sets his reply-to, so we assume that means s/he needs or wants it, so we do not re-write them. You'll see them on others too. :) sorry i just thought it was a funny thread

To patch them out you must deal with the Makefile's, which means a patch (usualy), which means it will usualy need updated, which means more knowledge of the Makefile. So you might as well just do a 'make -n' and save your self the never ending patching cycle.

I never said to run anything. the very first boot, very first login, very first command, can be 'mpg123 foo.mp3' and you should have sound, all nice and automagic like.
